The Beginner’s Guide to Location in Android

Hi, I have created the app to locate a user following Ben's guide on the Treehouse blog (http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-location-android)

When I run the app (via genymotion), I get a map appearing on the screen but no label on my current location, nor does the camera centre to my current location.

This is the output from the logcat: 06-29 13:04:50.682 3604-3604/? I/art﹕ Late-enabling -Xcheck:jni 06-29 13:04:50.974 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp I/zzy﹕ Making Creator dynamically 06-29 13:04:50.977 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp W/ResourcesManager﹕ Asset path '/system/framework/com.android.media.remotedisplay.jar' does not exist or contains no resources. 06-29 13:04:50.977 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp W/ResourcesManager﹕ Asset path '/system/framework/com.android.location.provider.jar' does not exist or contains no resources. 06-29 13:04:51.028 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp I/Google Maps Android API﹕ Google Play services client version: 7571000 06-29 13:04:51.039 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp I/Google Maps Android API﹕ Google Play services package version: 7574470 06-29 13:04:51.768 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp D/OpenGLRenderer﹕ Render dirty regions requested: true 06-29 13:04:51.771 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp D/﹕ HostConnection::get() New Host Connection established 0xabbdd3e0, tid 3604 06-29 13:04:51.781 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp D/Atlas﹕ Validating map... 06-29 13:04:51.823 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp D/libEGL﹕ loaded /system/lib/egl/libEGL_emulation.so 06-29 13:04:51.833 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp D/libEGL﹕ loaded /system/lib/egl/libGLESv1_CM_emulation.so 06-29 13:04:51.846 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp D/libEGL﹕ loaded /system/lib/egl/libGLESv2_emulation.so 06-29 13:04:51.853 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp D/﹕ HostConnection::get() New Host Connection established 0xa3d0b760, tid 3688 06-29 13:04:51.872 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp I/OpenGLRenderer﹕ Initialized EGL, version 1.4 06-29 13:04:51.887 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp D/OpenGLRenderer﹕ Enabling debug mode 0 06-29 13:04:51.910 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp W/EGL_emulation﹕ eglSurfaceAttrib not implemented 06-29 13:04:51.910 3604-3688/com.khackett.locationapp W/OpenGLRenderer﹕ Failed to set EGL_SWAP_BEHAVIOR on surface 0xa3d07f20, error=EGL_SUCCESS 06-29 13:04:51.942 3604-3681/com.khackett.locationapp D/﹕ HostConnection::get() New Host Connection established 0xafe0b6b0, tid 3681 06-29 13:04:52.061 3604-3604/com.khackett.locationapp I/MapsActivity﹕ Location services connected.

If anyone can see where I am going wrong or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
