Thanks for that. I just want one fix one time, not updates. I will try LM, but why can't I use vanilla Location like the API says? (My question is more of a learning one, if there is a more appropriate Class, why shouldn't I use it?) Everyone says GPS is a battery hog, so I just want to get a fix and turn it off as quickly as possible. -jp
Location A class representing a geographic location sensed at a particular time (a "fix"). LocationManager This class provides access to the system location services.
