my location point appears out of the street google maps eclipse

I developed an application for Android in Eclipse with Google maps. The problem is that the blue dot indicating my current location appears always parallel to the road where I am driving, on roads outside cities. But if you are within the city the point already on top of the road.
I'm using this to get my location on the start of the app:
locationManager = (LocationManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
Location myLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false));
then I add the blue dot to the map:
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
and then I start listening for location changes:
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, time, 1, this);
My location change function:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
Lat1 = location.getLatitude();
Long1 = location.getLongitude();
if (Lat1 != Lat || Long1 != Long) {
Lat = location.getLatitude();
Long = location.getLongitude();
if (startNav == true) {
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()), 17));
b = new LatLng(Lat, Long);
if (a != null) {
String urlTopass = makeURL(b.latitude, b.longitude, a.latitude, a.longitude);
new connectAsyncTask(urlTopass).execute();
}
}
}
}
}
My question is why does the blue dot appear parallel to the street instead of on top of it?

Use the FusedLocationProviderAPI. It is recommended over using the older open source Location APIs, especially since you're already using a Google Map so you are already using Google Play Services.
Simply set up a Location Listener, and update your current location Marker in each onLocationChanged() callback. If you only want one location update, just un-register for callbacks after the first callback returns.

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

if (map == null) {

.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
}

How to get current location of device on google maps api v2?

I´ve found some methods to do that but are deprecated or doesn´t work. I would like to get current latitude and longitude from device.
Here is how I'm getting the current location, but the GoogleMap getMyLocation() method is deprecated:
void getCurrentLocation()
{
Location myLocation = map.getMyLocation();
if(myLocation!=null)
{
double dLatitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
double dLongitude = myLocation.getLongitude();
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude))
.title("My Location").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude), 8));
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Unable to fetch the current location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

See the answer here.
For targeting api-22 and lower:
It's actually quite simple, using the FusedLocationProviderAPI is recommended over using the older open source Location APIs, especially since you're already using a Google Map so you are already using Google Play Services.
Simply set up a Location Listener, and update your current location Marker in each onLocationChanged() callback. If you only want one location update, just un-register for callbacks after the first callback returns.
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity

private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private Location mLastLocation;
private Marker marker;

How to disable google map current location tracking after first loading android

I am google map apis for my current location. I am working on map application in which it first load current position then user can be able to point to any where on the map. My problem is that if i am moving, then my location is again and again moving towards my current position and user is not able to point the desired location on map as it again routes towards its current location. My code is given below, in which i am using code to initialize the map. Your help will be appreciated.

#using_coding there may be many ways to do it, i didn't check this code, but may be it will help you in your scenario.
1: Make a boolean checking in the creation of your activity like:
boolean isFirstTime = true;
In your location listener for the first time make:
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
And in this column make your isFirstTime to be false and in that block make MyLocationEnabled to be false. In this way if users location is changed then it will check boolean and if it is false then it will not update your current location.
2: Second way is not the solution but you can also do it, like you can set the location request time to be relatively more.

Polyline draws a line from wrong location

I developing an app that draws a polyline on users movement.
For now i got a GoogleMap, and when I launch this app I got a polyline that draws from unknown location to my location. I Just want to start drawing this polyline when user start to move.
Anyone can tell me whats wrong with my code?
