[dush]

Hi All,

I am trying to develop a MAP Application using GPS to get the locational lat , lon details.
However,
as soon as i use location manager i get a FATAL Exception caused by illegal state exception System Service not available

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
