   The timestamp attached to the geolocation event reflects the time of when the event was captured. When requesting GPS point, the native SDK will return the last known good GPS point, which could be several seconds in the past. It is also entirely possible that a second GPS request could return you the same GPS location event, if the phone hasn't received an updated location event for some time.
   
   I don't think this is a bug, I think this should be the intended behaviour. In my apps I tend to use both the GPS timestamp and a timestamp of when the callback is called (using `Date.now()`) to determine how trustworthy a GPS point is.
