It's still a 2-step process, using classes from 2 completely different
packages.

1) android.location.Location to compute distance and angle from start
to end point... unless you want to implement the math yourself

2) SensorManager and SensorListener (in android.hardware) to determine
current orientation of phone

You will also want to use android.hardware.GeomagneticField to find
the magnetic declination for the user's current location (or at least
a point that's close to it).  The orientation sensor uses magnetic
north, as far as I know, and I believe the math in Location probably
uses true north.  The difference can be a lot or a little depending on
where you are.
