Version 1.17:
* Require a full GPS lock before sending position (rather than the
approximate cell based position)
* We now embed a google maps link in the GeoSMS

I love this application, the idea is brilliant, but the longitude of
the image in the GeoSMS map is always wrong in my Legend and in my
boyfriend Desire.
The link for Google maps wont work either, the only way I can see the
location is by I hand copying the numbers it to Google maps on my PC,
and use dots instead of commas on each coordinate..

Thanks

wow! What country are you in? Can you send me (off list) one of the
SMS's that your phone receives? Sorry about that.

I am in Portugal and my boyfriend is in Angola.
One of the sms he sent me says http://maps.google.com/maps?q=GeoSMS@-8,813755, 13,233424. The "little man" on the geosms map appears somewhere on the Atlantic ocean, apparently at the right latitude.
In the SMS, everything from "http" turns into a link, and when I click it, Google Maps shows an info saying "searching for GeoSMS@-8.813755, 13,233424" and then "no results found.
Either if I hand copy "-8,813755, 13,233424" google maps cant find the location. Only when I type "-8.813755, 13.233424" with the dots I can see the right location, on Google Maps.

Hope I helped! :)

Ah - It will be a simple fix. I must have used the localizing print
routine, so it is converting 'US standard numbers like 1.23' as "1,23"
in that locale. I'll put out a new version before the end of the
week. Thank you so much for your report.

Thank you for your report.  I just released a fixed version in the market.  The problem was related to localization for your country.

Can you try it out and see if it works better for you?
