CellFinder released!

CellFinder has been posted to the Android Market, so if you have a T-Mobile G1, check it out in the Applications/Tools section. The source code is available at the Codetastrophe Google Code project page. There's also some documentation. Some of the new features since the initial post:

• Improved format for data display at top of screen
• Friendler direction/distance display with configurable units
• Configurable location refresh time
• Full-screen map option ("Show cell" data in the Settings menu)
• A few bug fixes

There are a few features I'm planning on adding in the near future:

• Auto update notification
• Keep database of cell tower locations and display those on the map
• GPS satellite locations (see this post)
• Signal strength is some unit other than "asu"
• Redirect user to settings page if GPS or Network location service is disabled
• Help page to show full documentation for all features

So anyways, I was pretty surprised how fast CellFinder showed up on the Marketplace and how soon people starting e-mailing me. I got a lot of positive comments and a few negative ones too. I uploaded it to the Marketplace around 10pm last night, and as of 8:43AM, my stats are:

• 110 reviews, 4/5 stars
• 2235 total installs
• 1823 active installs (81%)
