Thanks to Google and Udacity for the scholarship, and thanks to everyone else I got help from along the way. I've been lucky to have so many people willing to take time to answer my programming/Android questions.

I'm finishing up the last project of the Udacity Android Basics Nanodegree this week! I completed a challenge course for the Grow with Google scholarship earlier this year and started on the nanodegree a few months ago.  I've worked on over 30 little app projects and I'm starting to understand Java a lot better.

The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/bluepandadev/Location2 I was following along with Udacity's location class when I came across a deprecated method. Since Udacity doesn't have an updated video for it yet, I decided I'd try making one.  Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to do this better.
