ok so getCurrentLocation doesn't exist anymore and getLastKnownLocation is what we should use now but I don't want the last know location. I want the current location. What do I do to get the current location?? :S

Should I try and get an update after a change of one feet and then stop the update or something like that??

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I am also interested in this. What is the recommended way to try and obtain the current position (i.e. just do one gps query and deal with result / lack thereof rather than polling)?
