Hi, it works after the next update. Will put it in my list to make a query also in the first toggle. Thanks for mentioning it.

In general:
Haven't announced yet the new devel version (1.8-1) - didn't have much time really.

It's kind of a rewrite in logic and functionality. I'm not gonna work on it more for the next couple of weeks but uploaded for those interested on where I'm heading.

My ambitious plan is to make a daemon and a small DB to store the cell and location info on every change of the cell tower connection. The impact in battery will be minimal since I managed to make use of the DBus triggers (already in this version).

The UI will be to view live the info, extract data between two points in time (for example in kml format) and plot them in a map.

I have thought of many end uses but my favourite is to have a tracklog of all the places I visited during a trip and check where I've been last week Saturday night! All these are not quite possible now (that is using the GPS) without a heavy impact in the battery.
