Nice app! Congratulations!
I have some questions.. What is the reason to add fixed height of geoid in GGA string? And whether it makes sense to transfer GLL, VTG and ZDA strings? I tested a similar program for several weeks with some client applications (SAS Planet, OziExplorer, gpsVP, Navitel ets.) and decided not to use that elements. On my N900 the attribute of MagneticVariation always comes without validity confirmation. Is it a bug of pr.1.2?

On the mag variation, the NIST issues an updated set of model coefficients every five years. Perhaps the N900 knows that it doesn't have the 2010 update?
On the other hand, reasonably-priced magnetic compasses aren't going to be accurate enough for it to matter.

thanks guys I'm really happy you all like the app, it makes it all worthwhile

My comments were based on what the sentences are supposed to have, not what I observed from your app. When I get a minute I'll try to run your output against my parser to see what happens

libqtm-location is a wrapper of liblocation, which does not provide information about magnetic variation, seems to cause errors in this. So that attribute is always invalid.

I'm faily sure Columbus didn't have an N900 either

Thanks for this very useful yet aesthetically pleasing app.
I would like to point out however that closing th app was not very intuitive to me. To close the app I first minimize to get the overview of open apps and then I close it from there. Is there a different way of quitting the app from within?
