A quick fix for AGTL on the N900

A few weeks ago, geocaching.com once again changed their website. The new site features a new map. Unfortunately, the new map doesn’t fit well into AGTL. I fixed the bug, however, was not able to finish the N900 version yet, because I don’t own an N900 since mine broke last year. I’m currently searching for a defect N900 to buy it for development, you can also speed things up with donations for a used N900.

Update: Rob Kouwenberg ( @cow_n_berg) will send me his spare N900, so the quest for a new old N900 has found a quick end.

However, in the meantime you can try this dirty fix. It doesn’t affect the installed version of AGTL. Run the following commands in the terminal. # First, install git and python-lxml (as root)

apt-get install git-core python-lxml

# Now, check out the latest version of AGTL (***NOT*** as root!)

git clone git://github.com/webhamster/advancedcaching.git

# Now, run it (also ***NOT*** as root!)

cd advancedcaching/files/advancedcaching

python core.py --hildon

This is untested, so please provide feedback if everything works.

Please be warned, that the new downloading algorithm always fetches the whole descriptions, thus it is much slower than before!

And if you have a partially defect N900 at home, please mail me!
