unnecessary "GPS not found" message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. turn off GPS
2. start MyTracks
3. load map screen

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
"No GPS location provider was found..."

using this app w/ GPS disabled is a common usage pattern, for viewing, sharing 
tracks after recording, etc. This message is unnecessary and displayed for an 
unnecessarily long time, obscuring functions of MyTracks and the Android GUI 
until the message dismisses itself.

You'd be surprised how many bug reports we got in the past from people who 
failed to record because they had GPS disabled :)

But I agree about making it show for a shorter time.

thanks.

if this message must be displayed, it would be nice if this message was only 
shown once after opening MyTracks / once per session. it currently displays 
every time the user navigates to MyTracks' map screen. quite obstructive to 
using MyTracks other functions and screens.

Agreed on that too - it should at least have a timeout (so it displays at most 
once every hour, for instance).
