Ok, I worked a little on my script over the weekend... a wee bit.... and then I pulled an all nighter since my wife was away on a tradeshow anyway... so... what emerged is in extras/devel repository as "ZapLoc".

This is a very early version, but.... lemme know if it installs and works for you. Getting things to install through a repository on maemo was rather... tricky.


EDIT 2 - I (think I) I have fixed the google api installer, so try normal instal BEFORE trying this workaround


EDIT: Just installing ZapLoc doesn't work, because I botched the packaging of the google api client. To install it use these NEW instructions:
  1. Install ZapLoc from the program manager (location category) or by doing "apt-get install zaploc" (same thing)
  2. Now we need to get the Google Api Python Client thingamabob installed (this doesn't work in the installation - apologies)
  3. Open X-term
  4. Become root (at least I think you need to be root)
    Code:
    sudo gainroot
  5. Go to some random directory for downloading unzipping
    Code:
    cd /home/user/MyDocs/
  6. Download http://google-api-python-client.goog...t-1.0beta2.zip
    Code:
    wget http://google-api-python-client.googlecode.com/files/google-api-python-client-1.0beta2.zip
  7. Unzip it
    Code:
    unzip api-python-client-1.0beta2.zip
  8. Go to that dir and run
    Code:
    cd api-python-client-1.0beta2.zip
    python setup.py install
  9. Now ZapLoc should (in theory) work.
  10. If you want, you can delete the downloaded file and clear out and remove the directory, 'tis no longer needed.
    Code:
    rm -r api-python-client-1.0beta2
    rm api-python-client-1.0beta2.zip
