I too saw the http://www.geocaching.com/seek/gmnearest.aspx, which is a nice implementation. However, it isn't optimized for the mobile browsing. If that implementation could be optimized for mobile browsing, that would be great. I have been experimenting with converting pocket queries into contacts and then syncing them with the iPhone. I'm really not looking for the iPhone to replace my GPSr. I just want to be able access the cache details and record my success and failures with it, especially if I am out of range. After some monkeying around, I moved the coordinates from the Organization field to a Address field. This allows me to open the address with the Google Maps widget. However, Google doesn't like coordinates with a country and returns a negative search result, but if you delete the country manually, it pops up in the Google Maps widget. More observations to follow . . .

OK, I own an iPhone, and I find the Google Maps application amazing. I was wondering if it were possible to allow a google search for nearby caches (i.e. based upon ZIP or coordinates) and have the caches display on the map. (This could also work for Google Maps for Palm or Windows Mobile). The pop-up bubble would display some basic information, but any detail information would require a premium membership. Any thoughts?
