True, but you can still use the GSM cell to determine that you are not in the restaurants, because you are in a different cell on the other side of town. The rule interpreter could check he GSM cell ID to determine if you might be near enough to a significant point before starting the GPS to determine your exact location. Alternatively, the user might decide that for most rules, the approximate location from the GSM cell is good enough. For example, my local cinema is in a fairly isolated spot out of town. If I am within a couple of miles of it, the chances are I will be going to the cinema shortly, or I have just left, so a rule switching the phone to silent mode if I am in the same GSM cell as the cinema would be good enough. -- David Pottage Error compiling committee.c To many arguments to function. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
