Note that you may not get a value immediately from your location services subsystem so if you find there's nothing there, then try starting up the sensor in openCard or openStack, wait some time and then use the button to get the current location.

Hope that makes sense (and works for you).

Or are you having problems feeding it in to the map widget?

cheers
