The code I am using to get the location is very simple: LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(lm.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), true));
When I get the location, it's always a "network" location. If I hard code it and replace "lm.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), true)" with "gps" the application crashes.
