Source is here: http://github.com/baruch/openbmap-locator Based on the TODO file I think it's getting location information based on the current cell and providing it using the Gypsy dbus API. There's an init script to get fso-gpsd to connect to it instead of the GPS. It looks like you need to download the cell database manually at the moment, and I've not seen any instructions. I guess this isn't what you meant when you said 'hooked up to the openbmap data' but it's a step in the right direction. _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
