When you get location , google can't give you exact location every time. there is always some minor differences in location. — Chirag Savsani, May 22 '15 at 06:18
what do you mean by changed? if you are using "=" then even .0000001 and .0000002 will not be equal. — Karan, May 22 '15 at 06:19
One solution is there : when you get location check difference, if there is minor deference (about 20 -40 meters) then keep last location otherwise update new location. — Chirag Savsani, May 22 '15 at 06:20
its happen only if your are get location form network as well GPS, i also agree with @ChiragSavsani 's comment — Dhaval Parmar, May 22 '15 at 06:33
Than how does google map mange to show exact location everytime.? — Edward Collins, May 22 '15 at 07:13
Round of to third decimal place. It will show exact position on map and will be less sensitive to movement — Karan, May 22 '15 at 08:25

This is related to the fact that the received position change (even if very little) as a function of all the factors that influence the sending of GPS signals. You can obviate this drawback by introducing a tolerance factor of the measurement such as whether the coordinates fall within a area of 30 m the position is the same.

Make sure that your program takes into account not only the position of the four or five final numbers that change constantly.
