Create a Garage project and upload the code there (that way other people can also access and submit modifications to the code), push the binary to extras-devel.
Binary package attached. Expect bugs, this one is just a preview.
Edit: no, it was because building a release version (not a debug one)

But... Is there possibility to set the Intervals to more than 120 Sec? (every 30min would be optimal)
And is there a possibility to make it shut down the location-module between the push Intervalls?
The power drainage makes it unusable otherwise.

Sorry I've not had a chance to look at the code yet (where have you uploaded it to)?
Setting arbitrary update intervals is a must IMO, and it would also be useful to be able to tell it to only use an existing connection (e.g. so you can leave it running when abroad and not worry about roaming) or specify which connection types it is allowed to start itself.
If there's already a connection up, being able to set a different update interval would be useful (if the connection is there anyway why not update position) but again having it user configurable would be good as the GPS chipset is a power drain so the user should be able to decide how often it's run.

Sorry I took so long to upload it, I've been in a region with very poor internet connection (tough very nice beaches).

For bigger update intervals, like 30 min, I'll have to handle that by myself, because it's not "natively" available.

Right now I'm trying to solve the high memory usage by moving out the gui code from the daemon. Then I'll address the connections, make it not connect, only update when already connected.
For those who might have missed the settings gui, screen-shots attached.

It's not necessary to "checkin" into places like in foursquare, updates are generally automatic, in the map.

in the screenshot, theres the possibility to change the location mode between GPS, cell tower, and both.
Where can I find those settings?
In CONFIG, I only can change user, password and intervall.
Thank you

@rubberduck the version 4.6 is not the same version of traysh
the actual method is use the cell tower because is power efficient, the gps will drain your battery, you can not change it.
the interval is in seconds, and not new position are submit before of last_update_time + interval
the daemon is not running at the startup, i need more testing before of enable this option ( roaming, 3g can be expensive and a battery drain )
the version of traysh have some bugs, and need to be fixed before to submit to extras... but i backport some features from their code.
btw, if you run from terminal, can see a log of the operations...
