  1. You can use the Google Earth plugin to Create a KML file of the cache's near your location and upload it to Wikitude.me and then you can view the cache's in Augmented Reality in the Wikitude World Browser App available Free for iPhone & Android Try it out.
  2. We need a Layer for Wikitude, that would be awesome for geocaching UPDATE: You can actually do this already, simply Download the Google Earth plugin: http://www.geocaching.com/about/google.aspx Download Google Earth and Load the geocaching.com plugin, select you cache's you want, copy them into the My Places Folder in Google Earth, then Save your My Places into a KML File which can be uploaded to: Wikitude.me and the cache's will be visible in the Wikitude World Browser, and Augmented Reality app Available for iPhone, Android, and Symbian http://www.wikitude.org/ iPhone 3Gs Verson Android Version Symbian Version It's not necessarily Perfect, but I think it's the next best thing until geocaching.com adds themselves to the API, or add AR functionality to their App.
  3. The iPhone App is Fantastic, for looking up cache's logging field notes, etc. it was super convienient. I used it to look up the cache's and then would input the coordinates into my Garmin(the iPhone 3G's GPS wasn't all that accurate. don't know about the 3GS) and Even then is was the best app for geocaching. GeoBeagle is much more accurate(at least with the GPS on my Moto DROID) but getting cache's on the fly is cumbersome to be kind. What we get in a geocaching.com app first and foremost is a wonderful way to look up all the cache's near our current location, download them to our phones, view them all in a map, etc. without using a web browser on a phone which even in the best circumstances is a zoom in and out excercise. I would hold the iPhone in one hand with the cache info, hints, logs, notes, etc. viewable my Garmin in the other locating the cache, then a quick field note instantly logged from the phone. Search up the next cache and enter it into the phone. The iPhone totally eliminated my connecting my GPS to the computer or printing out any info from the website, etc. except for puzzle cache's. It has been the single biggest thing I've missed switching to The Motorolla DROID from iPhone. I think it is a great move by geocaching.com...Verizon has the biggest subscriber base, and now finally have some decent phones available. You can get Moto DROID's for $110 and HTC Eris' for FREE with 2 yera contracts, so these should only increase in popularity drastically, as well as the Nexus 1, G1, etc. With the Motorolla DROID's GPS, I may start keeping the Garmin in my pack as a back-up once this app comes out.... Can't wait will totally be worth the Money if it's at $9.99 like the iPhone APP, I'de pay $19.95 or $24.95 for it without delay if it was available.
