Right now, I am looking at this from the point-of-view of *creating* a geocache instead of *finding* them. Long story short: when creating a geocache, it is important to state the most accurate GPS coordinates possible. For consumer-grade GPS devices, this means taking an 'average' of many points. To my surprise and delight, I discovered that my (now ancient) Lowrance GM100 GPS had a 'take an average' feature when adding a new waypoint.

So, my question is this (has it already been asked?): can Maemo Mapper take *multiple* GPS readings at a location, and use that it store the location of a new (geocache) waypoint? It would seem easy -- in principle -- to do this, right?

GPXView has this kind of functionality. You can found it from tools menu.
