In my application I would like to determine the user's current location. I do however have a couple of questions in this regard: There are different Location Providers, which one is the most accurate? The GPS Provider or the Network Provider ? In how far do those available provider differ? How do they function? Could you please provide me with some code-snippets or tutorials on how to get started with implementing GPS functionality in my application?
