I'm not sure I follow you entirely. Isn't the entire problem that it
only updates after a certain threshold already? Did you just make the
threshold smaller then?

Ultimately, if it's possible, I'd prefer the signal to be fired based
on how long ago it was last fired, instead of passing some minimum
threshold. Like, instead of saying "only fire the signal if the new
location is further than 0.001 degrees away", say "only fire the
signal if it was last fired more than 1/10 of a second ago." That way
you won't run into performance issues with the signal being fired too
often, but you don't have a silly threshhold that prevents small,
precise movements.
