In need of dynamic geolocation support, script currently expects a static location!

@fredrik84 Could you elaborate on the scenario? How will the script detect a location? Based on its current external IP? Highly unreliable to use IP -> Geo lookups, I'd question its very feasibility.

Question is if we can detect that we're running on an Android and thereby call upon the gps frameworks there in some way? I'm highly unexperienced on the Android platform so anyone more knowledgeable is welcome to comment!

Is this going to be supported on multiple plattforms?
In that case someone needs to implement a check which methods of gps tracking is available and otherwise use geoip even if its shaky.

The application wont work for the user out-of-the-box otherwise. It will affect the user experience negative.
