[android-developers] Re: Anyone know how to calculate speed WITHOUT GPS?

You can get location from NETWORK_PROVIDER which can be calculated
from cell towers or WiFi AP.
The first one works almost always but the accuracy is not good
therefore you may get the same location for quite a long time.
All you need to do is to replace GPS_PROVIDER with NETWORK_PROVIDER.
