Thank you for your reponse. I'm trying to implement the requestUpdates() now. At the moment I'm faced with the follwing problem. I've implemented the LocationListener but always get the following LogCat error.
Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() Well I'm calling my geo class in a thread that was started by a service. At the moment it looks like this. What do I have to change in order to get the listener working? My Geo class: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/80ypWR00yHnHRz9pN7mc/ Regards!
