Add API to get GPS heading/bearing #563

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What should be supported?

Is it possible to get GPS heading/bearing ?
(Not Orientation which use compass and may not accurate.)

In most other Smart Phone platform, quite easy.
(Python S60, BlackBerry all very easy to get heading/bearing.)

As of latest sl4a_r5x, location results now return "bearing", if available.

That's strange. I am using sl4a_r5x, but still no heading/bearing in the 
results.
And the speed always return 0
Is it device specific ?
