Maemo really eases the development of such stuff as it comes with libgtkhtml and libxml and thus even allows to embed rendered html cache descriptions.

This is written in C with maemo-mapper in mind and i plan to either include this into maemo-mapper so the caches are marked on the map. I am also trying to get this combined with navit and its ability to read garmin maps and hopefully this can be combined with e.g. topographic garmin maps.

Ading the DBUS support to mCacher does not look too difficult. If you think you wish to add mCahcer support I could work on the DBUS interface next. I think just a single message "Goto waypoint: name, lat, lon" would do the trick.

Let me know,
Charlie.
