Any comment from the Geode people on how this application will play with Apple's Terms of Service for the SDK? Apparently the TOS is what keeps TomTom for releasing for iPhone. Geode looks like it will cost significantly more than the current GPS navigation offerings from the AppStore, and that's ok: if you're doing some soft market research, I'd say $50 is way to much, and I'd feel like I was stealing if I paid $15. I used bought GPS Tuner for Windows Mobile ($34), and that was the perfect price for a high-end geocaching app (although their license no longer worked after I re-flashed my hardware, and I refused to purchase their product again when I bought a new phone from the insult). Also, from how you described Geode, it looks like it has the same problem that GPS Tuner had: you have to plan ahead. Impromptu geocaching is a legitimate use-case. I'm not sure Safari will be able to download GPX files, but if there's some way you can finagle that, it would be clutch. Has anyone tried GPS Kit or gpsCompass? They both look like they have potential.

I posted on my blog exactly how to do paperless geocaching on the tilt. The static GPS was only an issue once I read it on the forum—I never really noticed it before, but I'll look into it. GPS Tuner is incredible, especially with its Google Maps integration.

Greetings Geocachers. I'm brand-spanking new (2 found, woo hoo). Anyway, as part of my masters course I'm doing an analysis of Geocaching. I'm hoping a few intrepid 'cachers wouldn't mind talking to me for a little bit about how/where/why they participate in the sport. I'm especially looking for people who set the caches. Just message me on this forum and we'll set up a phone, email or IM interview. I'd be in your debt, and who knows—maybe you'll end up in a journal somewhere. Thanks in advance! -- Young Professor * Note to Mods: I read over the forum guidelines, and because it is educational I'm fairly confident this doesn't count as commercial solicitation.
