For me, this makes it precisely useless. Nice idea, but ultimately a fail. Yeah, the current version on the website doesn’t see WiFi points in Snow Leopard. For me, this makes it precisely useless.

However, I'm a little wary of relying on software that seems basically unmaintained: the released version 2.5.1 <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/marcopolo-discuss/search?group=marcopolo-discuss&q=snow+leopard&qt_g=Search+this+group" rel="nofollow">seems to have problems on Snow Leopard</a> (members of the discussion group have fixes for some of the issues, but not integrated into the upstream development) and the last development on the (unreleased) version 3 was <a href="http://git.symonds.id.au/gitweb.cgi?p=marcopolo3.git;a=commit;h=c9b2a094ecdea12c6241d8abd0476a8db1112a47" rel="nofollow">in September</a>. I'd love to have something like this working, but I wouldn't be confident in this codebase at the moment... This looks great!
