One more question: What do you exactly mean by get the actual Time? If can compare the fix time with something like System.currentTimeMillis(), but this will just work if a correct time is set on the device. The GPS system time would be better, but i seems that it's not retrievable on SDK 1.6 as far as i have seen till now.
