I just tried it and it worked fine whith this line in one of the sources.d/ files:

Code:

deb deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/CaCO3/Harmattan/ ./

Don't use the one with CaCO3: which is empty! (No clue why it exists)

Sadly it doesn't use the pre-downloaded OVI maps. I also think it would be great, but up to now I don't know how to implement it. Also it might not be very useful since only the maps, but not the satellite images can be pre downloaded.

That's one of the things confusing many people. Although both maps are named "ovi maps" they are completely differnt things. Nokia didn't manage to give the map service of its qt framework access to the on-boad maps. But at least they seem to have plans to implement this.

I just uploaded a new version to OBS.

Changelog:

cacheme (0.8.12-1-Harmattan4) unstable; urgency=low
Changes:
* Fixed bug with password decryption
* Moved config file location => All settings data is reset
* Added GPX file option (Its very ugly, will need to create an own dialog
Known issues:
* Sometimes GPS does not get started. As a workaround, start another GPS application andrestart CacheMe4Harmattan
* Changes on cache provider need restart of CacheMe4Harmattan

Please test it and give feedback.

Also, I would like to style the buttons and other Qt components more Harmattan-ish.
So if somebody is good with Qt CSS, please create a CSS style and let me know.

I would love an off line feature (for caching out where i can't get cell signal).
would it be possible to do? like select an area using 2 gps points to make a rectangle and use that offline?

geocaching.com does not allow to cache geocaches. To to that, you will have to get a premium account. There you then can download a GPX file with all geocaches in a certain area.

And getting the map tiles into a cache, would be possible, but I don't know how to do this in a proper way.

It's finally here! AGTL brings offline geocaching to the N9.

Well, not completely: The map is not stored offline right now, but this feature will arrive eventually. This is an Alpha version, meaning there will be bugs. However, I already went geocaching with it and it worked!

AGTL features several cool features:

Compass view
Map view
All details and images, the last 20 logs
Writing fieldnotes
Of course, some settings
And best of it all: A unique augmented reality view!

Download the alpha here. If you downloaded it on the N9, click on the file and follow the instructions. Otherwise, enable developer mode. Run devel-su in the terminal to become root, then run dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/agtl-alpha.deb (change the path accordingly).

Please report bugs to github and only to github.
Bugs filed here may be overseen, so please use the bug tracker of you encounter strange behavior of the app!
Please try to provide an output log of the program run. You can start AGTL by running agtl-meego in the terminal. If you run agtl-meego > errorlog.txt 2>&1 it will create a file errorlog.txt containing valuable information for bug hunting.

Please consider a donation if you like AGTL. It will stay free (as in beer) also when it hits the OVI store, although rewriting the UI for Meego took a lot of hours in the last weeks.

Images in full resolution.

Very nice GUI work!
Congratulations!
I guess you invested a lot of time and knowledge into it.

And here comes Beta 1 for AGTL

Read all the details on my homepage, including some screenshots. You can download the .deb-file there. I've pushed it to the Ovi store as well, it is currently awaiting QA.
