There are two possible error states:

1) You are not online, and you have never been online during this app
session, and so you have never received a location value. There is a
null crash because the location data is null.

2) You were online, and went offline, and the location service has not
been initialized yet, so the first time it tries to get a value, it crashes.

Martin's finding that the GPS receiver doesn't cause a crash makes
sense, because it has no question to the actual network, and only uses
GPS from the sky.

The reason we are using the Google location service by default is that
it conserves battery power, and provides a location even if you are not
in view of the sky/satellites. The fixes we provide in the next build
should handle the use of this even if there is no network connection.
