requestLocationUpdates does not update on interval in Android

Question

Hello,

I have the problem that my service which has the LocationListener implemented, receives a GPSupdate every 500ms it seems. No matter what minTime i put in the requestLocationUpdates function.

Piece of my code:

public class LocationService extends Service implements LocationListener {

    LocationManager locMan;

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        locMan = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); 
        locMan.isProviderEnabled(android.location.LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
        locMan.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 60000, 1, this); 

    }

    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        Log.d( "Loc", "Location has been changed" );
    }

From a button in my main activity i will call startService();, after this it should run in de background but it gives continuous updates.

}
