I was doing a test with my app which involves a location sensor and google maps which places a marker of where the user is every ~60 seconds, After about 10 minutes the app stopped placing markers, I made sure that the data source that I was using was empty before testing and made sure that the screen was always on.
How should I fix this so that the app works for at least an hour?
Here Is the code I have when testing:
Many Thanks, Levi.

Can you try using a timer to control these actions instead of loops?

So I should get rid of the loop and replace it with a timer that keeps repeating, correct?

How should I do that, I still want it to send the location of the player every set about of time without the users having to do that manually.
Many Thanks, Levi

use a timer, put your blocks in the timers "on fire’ block
