Waypointcatcher resurrected for Maemo 5

Waypointcatcher on Maemo 5 (aka Fremantle)

As the location API has changed in Fremantle from libgpsbt to liblocation, the previously released version of waypointcatcher won’t do the job on the N900.

I’ve thus updated the python code, which despite its C&P nature just »works for me«. I’ll share the application on request, until I find the time to do the necessary cleanup and to offer a proper point and click installation link.

Its main purpose is to collect waypoints for openstreetmap, as Mapper does not record marks reliably ATM.
