Android Studio Google Maps: how to use mMap.getMyLocation() geolocation?

Question

Android

Hello!

private void setUpMap(GoogleMap map) {
        mMap = map;
        mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        Location myLocation  = mMap.getMyLocation();
}

Geolocation works, coordinates are determined.
BUT, gps works constantly, coordinates are updated continuously.
How to correctly get the coordinates through mMap.getMyLocation() at a given location in the code?
PS: what is the best way to determine the coordinates in the application: mMap.getMyLocation, locationManager, GoogleApiClient (LocationServices.API) or something else?

It doesn't work otherwise. You can of course set a predetermined interval, but it has little effect on the operation of the GPS itself. Because even a hot start can take up to a minute. And if the coordinates are needed here and now, even with an interval of 15 seconds, you will have to keep it constantly on.
