Glad this thread is still alive and silly. Seriously, take a look at the LocationManager class in the docs. There are constants for specifying GPS_PROVIDER, NETWORK_PROVIDER, or PASSIVE_PROVIDER. The accuracy will depending on the provider but the same code for determining position (and speed) will be the same via the LocationListener class and Location class. The "Unlocking Android" book from Manning Publications has an example. You may be able to download the example from the Manning site.
As for the 'poor signal in a car' argument, I accidentally dropped my phone inside a small airplane and could not find it. The plane had those silver sunlight reflectors over every window after landing. I used MyLookout to find its position and the GPS was able to obtain a position when the phone was under the seat and in the cockpit with reflective shades.
