I just submitted to the autobuilder. The new feature I have been working on is places checkin. Facebook doesn't have this in every country yet, but for those in countries where it works, please give it a test run.

A few caveats:
  • I haven't figured out how to tell how many satellites are used...it may be in a later version of Qt Mobility. So sometimes your first GPS fix is a little off because it is just the AGPS. If you hit the refresh button, you will get an updated list of places to select from when you have a better fix (usually a few seconds after the first fix)
  • Places is still a little rough on facebook...you might find multiple entries for the place you are visiting. Not sure what criteria to offer to pick which is better
  • I haven't added functionality to list your friends who have checked in at the same location. Not sure if it is of value or not (if your friends are not checking in, for instance), so please provide feedback

Let me know how it works, and how to improve it for you.

Note: nothing seems to be moving on autobuilder, so it may be a while before it gets submitted and ends up in the repository. I will make a note here when I get the notice that it has made it through the food chain.

Edit: I had a dependency problem--needed to add a dev file for the mobility location stuff. I just got the OK from autobuilder, so it should hit the repositories soon. Enjoy.
