GPS Location

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Get location from GPS or allow us to insert a dummy location via latitude and 
longitude.

So far we can get the longitude and latitude from the GPS and store them in 2 
double varibles.
Also there is a method "getLastKnownLocation". Pretty nice. Get that first 
location in the start up and later on refresh if it is changed.
I am going to play with it a little more and see what's going to happen. 
We can even "getAltitude()" :P cool :P

Dummy Locations can be given through telnet connection to the device.

Ex.: geo fix -8.593124 41.15645

That's near where I live. Since I use the GPS indoors... not really accurate :D

Intents are great!

I formatted a link with the coordinages like: 
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=long+latt

and the user can choose an application from his phone how to view it: Browser, 
Google Maps, Locations, other Browser, etc. 

I also played with activities a little, to get how they work :)

When I chose the "Get new one from a map" it was unable to fetch the map 
properly, and it's only showing a white grid with a green pin on my location.
