Good, it's really usefull for discover how to test the geolocalisation but I think you
can slightly optimize your code using "if(isNetworkEnabled){...}else if
(isGPSEnabled){...}" instead of "if(isNetworkEnabled){...} if(isGPSEnabled){...}".
Unless it is done on purpose ! ^^

Crazy that Google doesn't provide any example code with their documentation...
this worked a treat though, thanks

If you try to find these coordinates they lead to the Google Headquarters on
Mountain View XD.
