Google has updated the Play services library a while back. The location services have been improved and simplified. We should replace calls to the location services with the new Fused Location provider.

Do you think it will be a good Idea to allow the user to place a marker on the map and take that location instead of always taking the location from the center of the map.(If I see a location on the map Its more convenient for me to just tap that location instead of the trying to get that location on the center of the map).

We user tested it here, and determined that it was easier to pinpoint a location on a phone by having the user zoom and center the map on the point. Dragging a marker into place still requires zooming and panning, plus the complication of keeping the marker on the screen while trying to zoom in somewhere. Zooming and centering the map required no extra manipulation from the user.

Ok Fine.Also It better to have consistent behavior between the IOS and Android version.
