Amir, I've developed a similar app just for kicks (so the wife can keep track of me) ;)
I did the following: LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("gps"); if (loc == null) { locType = "Network"; loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("network"); } In this case if the GPS service does not have a fix or is switched off, the network, though not as accurate as GPS should be active and give you an approximate location.
