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

    // Define a listener that responds to location updates
    mGPSStatusListener = new GpsStatus.Listener() {
        public void onGpsStatusChanged(int event) {
            switch (event) {
            case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS:
                satelliteStatus = mLocationManager.getGpsStatus(null);

                Iterable iSatellites = satelliteStatus
                        .getSatellites();
                Iterator it = iSatellites.iterator();
                maxsatellites = 0;
                while (it.hasNext()) {
                    GpsSatellite oSat = (GpsSatellite) it.next();
                    statArray[maxsatellites][0] = oSat.getPrn();
                    statArray[maxsatellites][1] = oSat.getAzimuth();
                    statArray[maxsatellites][2] = oSat.getPrn();
                    statArray[maxsatellites][3] = oSat.getElevation();
                    statArray[maxsatellites][4] = oSat.getSnr();
                    if (oSat.usedInFix()) {
                        statArray[maxsatellites][5] = 1;

                }

                if (isGPSFix == 1) { // A fix has been acquired.
                    // Do something.
                } else { // The fix has been lost.

            }

    };

    mGPSLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            // Called when a new location is found by the location
