# location.MTLocationManager

class [MTLocationManager](https://docs.maptiler.com/mobile-sdk/android/api/-map-tiler-s-d-k/com.maptiler.maptilersdk.location/-m-t-location-manager/)(context: [Context](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/Context.html), minTimeMs: [Long](https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-long/index.html) = 1000, minDistanceM: [Float](https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-float/index.html) = 0.0f)

Class responsible for location updates.

This manager uses the platform [LocationManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/location/LocationManager.html) and calls delegate callbacks on the main thread. Runtime permission requests must be handled by the app; use [hasLocationPermission](https://docs.maptiler.com/mobile-sdk/android/api/-map-tiler-s-d-k/com.maptiler.maptilersdk.location/-m-t-location-manager/has-location-permission/) to check state.
