which is what I did right after posting....
It is now a little over an hour, and it fetches location every 5 minutes, then says it is within 100m and goes to sleep again.
So it is ignoring my setting to update at least every hour.
I can try to keep it running and see what it does when I drive home in a few hours

After two hours it eventually did a latitude update, but that was because it seemed to have picked up another cell tower finally.

So it looks like there is an issue with the code to force an update after xx time.

just tested exclusively with facebook places. Seems to work out. One thing to point out. On facebook, it does not show the username on the location checkin.

Idea for a future feature.... in heavily cluttered places it can be hard to find the icon for the place youre in.... so maybe a search function?

The text box can't accept non-Latin text.
Tried pasting text in it, and displayed boxes, then crashed.
Well, maybe not a big deal for most peoples.

Similarly, when creating a zaploc for multiple services at once, sometimes it's not possible to set the same check-in location for all services as the list is filled with irrelevant places. A search would be helpful here as well.
Going one step further, what I would ideally like to see at any given time is a searchable list of nearby places that I can check in to, without ever even needing to look at the map. I could then do simple single-click check-ins or choose to create a zaploc for the best locations. But maybe that's just me :)

Last night I fired it up, and used tower lock, then exited. This morning, battery was at 70% and it was still trying. Had to kill daemon. Tried again, hooked again, until I went outside and it locked.
So, kill it from CLI after use?

But tower lock per se shouldn't really consume power, since it's information your device already has by virtue of being connected to the cellular network.
Knowing my N900 as I do, losing only 30% over night would be fantastic

The list of places are filled in based on a center point. For the search on the service you clicked, the center point is that of the thing you clicked (basically guaranteeing that the item you clicked are top on the list for that service). For the OTHER services, though, search center is *screen center* (tiny crosshair).
If I ever implement scrolling in the little popup lists, this will become a non-problem, I hope. Searching is an idea too... but a much bigger project.
It's all down to the insanity of me making my own UI, but it's fun that way

Duly noted, however, in my mind, the UI is really just a tool to create ZapLoc's, and once you have those, you never use anything else (and auto-checkins take care of the bulk of checker-innery for you).
This is a hobby/weekend/evening project after all, and I make it _primarily_ to do what I myself want to do, _secondarily_ as a coding excercise, and _tertiary_ because I'm mad, MAD I TELL YOU!
