Woe - I'm still struggling to write some code that can reliably get me
an accurate location fix.
I have written some code that I thought would (i) register with any
available location listener (ii) at onLocationChanged events, check
the location fixes for age and accuracy (iii) once a suitable loc

Because that seemed to be the best way to get from a content URI

Happy to do it another way, though.

Does that sound OK? So the most communication I would need is (i) pass
