webhamster has pushed another version into extras-devel (already a few days ago) and this seems to be the one which should be in testing.
It works as it should, flawlessly (as I could check shortly).

Only same question open to me: the "download all details for visible caches" does nothing. It is not needed anymore (new download behaviour) or a bug?

Dear peterleinchen,
Some time ago I think the functionality of "download all details for visible caches" on the N900 changed to:
- All caches in view that were not updated recently: check their availability on the geocaching site. If necessary: archive or disable.

This is just my interpretation of what I saw happening in some cases. I must say I like it a lot. Although it would be perfect if the original function would work on top of it.

Thanks for the message, I will install the new version swiftly, before placing a new geocache this morning

Sounds reasonable. Maybe the button should be renamed to "Update ..."?

Hi!
Using the latest version of AGTL on my N900 I have problems with the position accuracy. The values vary from 30m to 130m. This is not suitable for geocaching.
What values do you have?
Can this be a software bug or does it indicate a hardware failure?

Thx!

I think it indicates "trees/clouds over your head"
Nah seriously, my accuracy is also not the best and I have to walk a lot of times forth and back and to the sides to get an impression where it might be. (no details about accuracy in mind!)
Remember it is still a phone, not a GPS receiver. And I accepted that 'flaw'.

Did you consider weather? Or are you sure it was better before?
I do not see any possibility AGTL is causing this.
Neither I see a hardware problem (but cannot exclude)...

Try installing GPSData to see raw info of GPS. This should clarify whether it is a AGTL problem or not.
Accuracy improves a lot with mobile internet (aGPS). I find accuracy in city better than usual GPS because of open street maps and mobile tri-angulation. Under the trees everybody has problems, also Garmin.

I couldn't even vote for agtl in the maemo competition. Now who compiled the list of projects to nominate?

All entries were self-submitted by their developers.

It's definitely not an issue of clouds and trees and aGPS is on. I will try GPSData to figure out....

By the way: What are your accuracy values? Just for comparison.....
