Geolocator seems to block network access

[comvu]

In our video conferencing app network access seems to get shut down for a couple of sec approx. every 15 sec ONLY when subscribed to Geolocator's StatusChanged/PositionChanged; works fine otherwise. As we try to keep latency under 1 sec, losing connectivity for a couple of sec every 15 sec really hurts. Does this have anything to do with wifi being one of location sources? Is there any way to select (a) location source(s) to use, like on other platforms? Is there any fix or workaround?

Is this on Windows Phone 7 or 8? Also, have you tried to put the GeoCoordinateWatcher on a background thread?

Are you inside or outside when your are using the Geolocalisation?
How do you configure the geolocalisation (precision setup)?
