I have tested the PQ page on MobileSafari.app and it works great. No Javascript incompatibilities or anything. PQ generation and management works beautifully on the iPhone.

That will be handled with the application's SQLite database model that is built into the SDK and supported on every iPhone. Import them and they're there. I'm thinking of a really cool 3-D rotating compass type graphic in its own screen for when you're hunting the cache. This will depend on Apple's implementation of the mapping system. My app would probably hand this off to the iPhone app for navigation by placing a "pin" in the google map app and let it do its thing. You'd then need to switch back to my app when you're near the site. Accessing the iPhone MobileMail.app email database shouldn't be an issue. So my app would just pull in the gpx file from your email (probably the most recent one or give you a selection if multiples are found) and store them in the database. We'll see Again, this will probably be handed off to safari or a WebKitView inside my app that uses your saved cookies from MobileSafari.app (if you're not logged in, you'll need to at that point)

I found this link on another post. I think this guy is 1/2 way there. Thanks to jbhodj & Drake! http://www.ayefon.com/geo/index.cfm Brettwurst, this guy's app is a web application which is inherently different. I think I remember him saying he was working on a native application, but I am as well I'm not going to give a timeframe because I don't have a 3G phone (obviously) to test the CoreLocation services API. The iPhone simulator in the SDK has its coordinates locked at 37.3317° N, 122.0307° W (Apple's home campus in Cupertino, CA). Hopefully in the next version of the SDK there will be a way to simulate movement. I've poked around the plist, app support, and binary files for the simulator but can't find a reference to how (or even if you can) change this at the moment. I also haven't shelled out the $99 to test on a physical unit, so as time gets closer and we've got some better tools to integrate into the A-GPS CoreLocation framework and I actually get some code in decent shape, I'll apply for the developer/debug ability. What features would you guys want in an iPhone Geocaching App?

Has this topic ceased discussion? I'd love to get an RSS feed of my finds to put on my blog or an RSS feed of logs for any cache I may place in the future. The discussion of "RSS totally sucks at sending a large number of posts in a large number of categories to a small number of subscribers" totally doesn't fly... Netflix does it for every single one of their users for tens of thousands of possible movies, why can't geocaching.com? Just my 2¢ as a geocaching newbie and a web professional.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINEMAJIM!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 57CHEVY!!!!!!
