The N9 has such a small audience that you should really try to join forces. Now that AGTL has official N9 support, i'd really recommend that you spend your time there and forget about the ugly CacheMe versions.
While started as a MeeGo project CacheMe has made a 100% shift to Symbian and if i have to decide whether i fix something in a way that works better for Symbian or MeeGo/Harmattan/Maemo5 i'll always give Symbian the preference and i won't do any Harmattan/MeeGo specific changes.
After I invested a lot of time to try to rewrite the SleepAnalyser GUI with QML, I for sure can say that it was much less work to modify your QT GUI instead of rewriting everything.
Beside of all of that, I thought I would learn more about C++ with modifying your code instead starting from scratch.
After all, I successed yesterday to get the combobox in the navigation window working. So I am not too far from releasing a complete version and hopefully get it into OVI Store.
P.S.
I experienced already several times crashes with CacheMe. They usually happen when I am on the main screen and pan around on the map. I am pretty sure they occur somewhere in the backend. Do you experience the same on the N900 or Symbian versions?
P.S.2:
Does Symbian have a future or market?
I never had a Symbian phone in my hands. All I hear is "its dead".

Thanks caco3 again!
Your CacheMe port is the ONLY functional and public geocaching software for N9 at the moment. I use it while waiting for AGTL which I used with N900. Some ugly details about not being native QML or something is just irrelevant. It works. That's enough for me for time being.
AGTL will have some advances when it arrives. E.g. Finnish topographic maps with Mapsi program will probably be supported - as they are with N900. This is actually something which I never realized with N900
P.S. I am also tired of hearing "its dead". When looking this forum I would say "its not".

Hi Caco3,
first of all, thank you very much for our effort! It's the only geocache application for my N9 I have found. It looked pretty bad, after Till had dropped its support for Meego. I'm (or was) a CacheMe-user on the symbian plattform (Nokia E7-00). So I'm familiar with it.
I have only a few minor bugs, improvement to add:
1) The change of the online maps is (as in the Symbian version) buggy. Somehow I hardly manage to change the mapsource. First you have to change the "Map service". Terminate the application and relaunch it. Then you can select the proper "Map type", since the list will now be accorinding to the selected "Map service". Then you have to relaunch the application again. It would be nice if the "Map type" selection can be made in the same time one changes the "Map service".
Moreover, I can't to change to "Google Satellite Map" at all. The screen will stay gray and no photos will be loaded. This issue was already a problem in the symbian version. Luckily, the OSM Maps are fine most of the time.
2) On Symbian I used SmartGPX for offline caching (due to roaming or bad network coverage). It has a nice feature, where you could log your finds in the calendar. So when I returned from a geocache-trip I had just to check my calendar and could log them on the geocaching site. Pretty useful if your caching for several days in a row and aren't able to log them immediately (holiday, or because the meego browser won't let you logon to the geocache site)
3) You can't use the application offline. The original CacheMe App let you choose your Cache source. So I could switch to stored GPX (Pocket Query). Of course it doesn't show any map. But I could still use it to look for nearby caches in my stored gpx-file and read the description, hint, logs, etc. A "list View" would be extra-nice (similar to SmartGPX mentioned above).
4) Your download page (www.ruinelli.ch/download) won't work in N9 browser. If you select to download the file an error message appears. So I have to download on a PC, transfer the file to the N9 and install the file. Perhaps you can fix this.
That's all, for now. Due to the current season, I'm not an very active geocacher. But I'll do my best to give you feedback on the latest releases.

Thank you very much, this helps a lot.
In general I have to say that I in first priority try to get CacheMe running on the N9 and into OVI store. This involves GUI changes, but no changes on the core functionality. I know that it crashes quite often (at least on the N9/N950). I am sure this is caused in the core and not a bug in the parts I modified. How ever later on I will see if I can trace those issues. Maybe Till also can give a hand, since its his code.

About the not working Google Satellite Maps:
It is exactly the same for me on my N950 as well as on the N900. When you pan to other areas, it sometimes works, but seems to fail randomly. Since Till sais it works fine for him, I am a bit unsure as where the problem might lie.

I would have to dig into this as well later on. Since I am just new in the geocaching business, I haven't understood everything yet.

See here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79796
and here: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4830
Those sadly are issues I cant fix myself (in CacheMe4Harmattan or the browser).
I am currently trying to get CacheMe4Harmattan into OVI store.
If I success, and I see that it is appreciated, I might invest more time into the mentioned improvement/new features.
One main thing I i.e. miss is a scale of the maps. This shouldn't be too hard to add.

Do I understand you right that this would be a new function which is not yet implemented in CacheMe at all?

I would have to dig into this as well later on. Since I am just new in the geocaching business, I haven't understood everything yet.

In "Pocket Queries", you can set a starting point and the query will collect all geocaches around this point. The query considers many different attributes (type, size, last visit, etc. of the cache). I use this feature regularly to transfer the caches to my Garmin GPS or to prepare possible caches form destination on my holiday. Moreover it’s the only solution for paperless caching, when you haven't any network coverage (or you won't make a connection due to roaming fees). More info (in german): http://www.cachewiki.de/wiki/PocketQuery

I just tried the CacheMe Meego port, and there is some potential for sure 
Some initial comments:
1) Supporting also portrait mode is a MUST. It feels really cumbersome to cache in landscape mode. Supporting portrait should be no problem if the codes are just written well. In QML this should be trivial. See e.g.:
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/..._rotation.html
2) The options and info buttons should be moved under options menu in toolbar. No need for them to be always limiting the screen estate.
3) Hiding found caches is nice. That's already implemented in the Qt version, so porting that should be easy - right?
Keep on rocking!

For me I do not really see the need of an portrait mode! If I figure out how to get it working, I will use it, but I will not invest a lot of time into it.
If you can't life with that, feel free to give it a try yourself.

I personally belief that that it is not disturbing too much since the other buttons anyway have to stay there.

Hi all
Thank you for all your suggestions and feedback.
Some of them I already could implement, some others are still on the todo list.
Despite of that, there is already a new version available. (www.ruinelli.ch/download)

* Reenabled hiding owned/found caches
* Added button to cache window to open cache in browser
* Various minor changes
Known issues:
* Works only in landscape mode. Reason unknown, will not fix this
* GPX files can not yet used (needs work in settings window as well as on file selection dialog)
* It sometimes crashes when panning the map. This might be dependant on the selected map service. More investigation is needed
