Introducing CellHunter (Update 0.4.1)

[Sebastian Hammerl]

Forgot to tell:

"submit data" is only for the visible data the check returns the last time.

its a bit complicated right now i know. when i get the time i make it

i always wait for a gps fix with checking check cellid manually and then
push: offline mode, auto submit, auto check
