Succeed to locate a user by 2 ways:

1. Network (Cellular network and Wifi):

   * Works on the emulator and on the phone
   * Very fast but less accurate

2. GPS

   * Works on the emulator
   * Very accurate but slow

- The location of a user is represented by coordinates (in the whole world):
                           (Latitude,Longitude)

Todo list:
* Check the GPS on the phone
* Compare the accuracy of both the GPS and the Network
* Decide on a structure that will hold locations and the users in each location
* Create a class on the server side that will get a location of a single user 
and 
  will return the users that are close to him (in a specific radius)

People Radar seems to work!

The location of each user and the update time are saved in the DB.
Using distance limit in order to get only the nearby people (Note: Change the 
limit to be realistic).
