YouLoc and openBmap collaboration

Hi,

I am part of the openBmap and start this thread uppon request from
people from YouLoc.

We can talk here about the YouLoc openBmap collaboration, and how to
make it happen.

Hi,

It is really great to see that things are moving on. Do you know
anything about the offline API of openBmap? what is it's current
state?

I'm thinking that if we contribute from YouLoc towards openBmap, it
would be also great to be able to use openBmap's cell<>coord database
in some way.

br,
Tero

If you mean a way to get your location from a local (embedded on the
phone) database, the work should get much faster. I work on a D-Bus
service in Python. Current Status: bash shell script downloads and
builds the sqlite file.
D-Bus service gives you your location.
Needs some polishing, plus packaging.

Sure thing. An online API exists on our Website already. For offline
use, see above.
