Hi, i want to register GPS track using real GPS satelite values. I have a problem because i can't establish continous GPS connection. I have setting:

Titanium.Geolocation.accuracy = Titanium.Geolocation.ACCURACY_BEST;
Titanium.Geolocation.preferredProvider = Titanium.Geolocation.PROVIDER_GPS;
Titanium.Geolocation.distanceFilter = 0;

Although distanceFilter is 0 (events continuously generated) - GPS connection is established for 5-10 seconds and then it breaks off. Next android again looking for satelites, establish connection for 5-10 seconds and breaks off. And again and aganin...

I need to record real continous satelite GPS track! Thanks for your help and sorry for my english.

You can set GPS as your preferred provider, but whether or not you actual get that provider is dependent on coverage. GPS is not going to be 100% available 100% of the time, and depending on your coverage, may be much less than that. The results will be different for everyone.
