I bet the answer is to just hold the phone up to the sky and let the GPS fairies do their thing. No API required!

This is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards the REST API inbound call, but I'm curious to hear what the others think.

Apex callout? Hmm, I don't know about that. Isn't that a bit overkill for a simple GPS coordinate update?
