_x000D_ _x000D_ I want to build an app that centers around getting the user's current location and then find points of interest(such as bars,restaurants,etc) that are close to him/her via the Google Places API. Upon searching the web for a place to start I came across some tutorials that use the LocationManager class and some others that use Google Play Services in order to find the users location. On first sight both of them do the same thing, but since I am new to this I got a little confused and I don't know which method suits my needs the best. So, I want to ask you : What are the differences between these two methods of finding locations (if there are any) ?
