It says IObservable could not found. Anybody knows the reason?

For HorizontalAccuracy information, see msdn.microsoft.com/.../system.device.location.geocoordinate(v=vs.110).aspx

HorizontalAccuracy is used to state how accurate the location is in the horizontal plane. It does not directly represent the source of the data. So a value of 10 means that the actual location is likely to be within 10 meters of given latitude and longitude.

There is also VerticalAccuracy, which states how accurate the altitude value is.

Awesome work!

How would I go about setting a geo fence around a highlighted route on the map so I could tell if device went off the highlighted route

When I build, I get like 100 errors. It can't find half the references in the reference.cs that the web service creates. What am i missing? Did this just work out of the box for everyone using the normal Windows Phone 7 SDK?

See Error below, and mulitply it by 70 or so.

The type or namespace name 'BrowsableAttribute' does not exist in the namespace 'System.ComponentModel' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Thank you for this excellent post on obtaining location data async via event stream collections using RX/LINQ. It solved a major design issue in my app, now I dont have to block methods waiting for location data.

this code is in constant loop: how to stop it if location not find. below bcalhoun_54@hotmail.com

public static IObservable<GeoPositionChangedEventArgs<GeoCoordinate>> GetPositionChangedEventStream(this GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher)

{

return Observable.Create<GeoPositionChangedEventArgs<GeoCoordinate>>(observable =>

{

EventHandler<GeoPositionChangedEventArgs<GeoCoordinate>> handler = (s, e) =>

{

observable.OnNext(e);

};

watcher.PositionChanged += handler;

return () => { watcher.PositionChanged -= handler; };

}

);

}
