I want the kml-feature back asap. Removing it was a really bad decision in my opinon.

About a year ago I posted a question here about searching the geocaching database from a J2ME application running on a Phone or other handheld device together with a BT GPS. However, my project stopped for a while but I am now starting it again. I would like to search the database and use the result directly from my application. Examples: * Get cache ID's for caches less then XX distance from current position * Get cache location (coordinates) and name from a sent ID A really handsome search would be a php or cgi script taking distance and ID respectivly and returning a string with data separated with comma (,) or something else. It could ofcourse also return a gpx or loc file. The thing is that I would like to use the data in my application, not present it on the screen directly. I think by adding these and maybe a few other simple searches the devolpment of J2ME apps for geocaching would increase. If these searches allread exists, please tell me how to use them or maybe someone has a better idea for searching? BTW, anyone else deveoping for J2ME with the geocacher in mind?

Hi, didn't know about the wap-interface until a couple of days ago but it works great with my SE K750i. Would it be possible to add an option that save the search-result as a .loc or gpx-file? That would help alot when using the phone also as a GPS-unit.

Hi, I am developing a J2ME midlet for geocaching. I would like to add a feature to search for caches from the actual coordinates where I am at the moment. I would like to do this directly from the midlet and connect to the database with an url something like this (for 10 closest) ...search.php?lat=lon=nearest=10 and get the result as a file (gpx or loc) or a list that is possible to parse from within the midlet. Is this possible (I mean from the webserver point of view, I know how to do it in J2ME)? My plan is to let the program send the search-url and then take care of the resulting datastream, then parse this stream and update a little table/db with waypoints in the midlet. From this table I will then 'Navigate to' for a selected waypoint Is there any documentation for the search.php and how to use it? Is it allowed to use it directly or do anyone have a better idea? BTW, the midlet is using a BT connected GPS and will run on every MIDP2.0/CLDC1.1 device with BT connectivity.
