RequestLocationUpdates does not update at intervals in Android

Question

I have a problem with my service that implemented LocationListener getting GPSupdate every 500 ms. No matter what minTime I add to the requestLocationUpdates function.

Part 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 the button in my main activity, I will call startService (), after which it should work in the background, but it gives continuous updates.

GPS 3 , . , 1 . GPS , . minDistance 10 .

, isProviderEnabled(), .

, startService() , . , - . , , . , Android.
