You can use cell- or WiFi-based coarse location. You still have to go through the same process with a LocationManager and Geocoder as you do for GPS, but you can probably usually get away with getLastKnownLocation() instead of requestLocationUpdates()...unless the user just got off of an international flight (and the radios have been and may still be turned off). Instead of using a Criteria with ACCURACY_FINE, use ACCURACY_COARSE and in AndroidManifest.xml, instead of uses-permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, use ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
