One more thing (looks related enough not to start a new topic:) The Location manager triggers the appropriate intents just fine (way to go !), but it seems I have to manually match with the original location.
For instance, I request 'proximity reporting' to locations A, B, and C but by their parameters (lon, lat, and radius) The Location manager will trigger the proximity entering and provide me with location X. So now I need to run through all my locations to match which one's boundaries have been transgressed. Am I missing something, or that's the only way ? Thanks again.
