Thanks for the pointer, but I think that api only has access to a limited number of cities contained in the database used by the world time app. This is on the device, which is an advantage, but I think I'll have to use something like GeoClue or geonames.org to obtain enough accuracy/range of cities. Something is used to reverse genocide the liblocation supplied lat/lon and to set the contact message location, so it may as well be available for us to use rather than having to write our own for every app. Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
