Hello, I've been reading the GPS tutorials around the forums, but my use case is somewhat different. Erel's excellent example tutorial starts GPS as a Starter service and the GPS position updates in real time. I'm looking to implement a solution that takes a GPS "snapshot" when the user clicks a bu
