Thanks for the great app Daniel. This is a great app. iT crashes every now and then but it's quite useful. A couple of suggestions:
1) For the UI, I think it's better to change the flow and make the program default to search nearby. The "Search nearby me" button can be replaced by "Search location" and when toggled ask for the location to search. The program could have a "Setting" menu to store the radius info required by Search nearby me.
I modify the code locally and force the program to always search nearby. I find the usability better. I also make the radius a constant and find that Google local search is still able to return search result further away than the radius specified.
2) Is there a way to auto-center the map based on the user's position when opening the map in full-size?
3) I haven't checked the relating code (did the local mod on N900), but could you share why you limit the number of results displayed per page to 20? During testing, I find pressing the previous/next page buttons is prone to crash the app.
4) Please please add Yelp if you can. Another app, libellule, attempted that but seemed to be contacted by Yelp and dropped Yelp support.

I like the app, but I live near the Washington DC area. Whenever I try to use this app the...
GPS seems to think I live in Spain, resulting in results near Spain.
If I use another app to force my GPS to the write place (say geolocation in PR 1.2) it still does the same thing.

I'd like to announce CasualServices 0.5. This is the first version that I think it's prepared for end-users, so I have promoted it to Extras-testing.
What is CasualServices?
CasualServices is an application for searching services, business and places. Get information about them and share this information with your contacts.
Most important features are:
How to install
Well, it's available in Extras-testing, so it needs to fulfil the QA process before to arrive to Extras.
If you're using Extras-testing or devel, then you will be able to install it from your application manager.
Don't forget to test it.
Known problems, and some coming features
Documentation
I wrote some documentation for the application. Improvements welcome ;-)
Translations
Right now, it's available in Spanish, and in my special English. You can translate CasualServices to your favourite language through transifex.net.
Acknowledgements
Special thanks to AndrewFBlack for the icon.
Also, thanks to the QA testers. I have fixed a couple of packaging problems thanks to them and the QA process. Obviously it's an important and necessary process, and I hope that the critics doesn't discourage this important group in the community.
Feedback very very welcome.
