I have an interest in this and will hopefully also be writing some simple GPS applications this summer. Concerning the exception, does including android.permission.INTERNET with android.permission.ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION help? Concerning the interaction of fine and coarse location listeners, a Google IO 2010 session suggests implementing a back-off pattern that starts with a lot of location listeners and removes listeners as the location accuracy improves. See http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/beginners-guide-android.html
