Hi,
I find it great that there is so much development done for geocaching on the Internet Tablet. OTOH, I feel some projects are reinventing the wheel. There's already two applications that covers the basic needs for Geocaching:
- GeoPOI to convert GPX files to POI databases (Miss the ability to add POI to an existing database but that's an already requested feature)
- Maemo Mapper to display the location of the caches (as POI), the type of caches (using JPG icons for each category), the distance to a cache (with POI context menu) and even the route to the cache.
IME, these two application already make a great team for geocaching. So, even if this new application seems great, I would rather have additional features built into the existing ones, mainly in MM, rather than additional applications that duplicate what these two already do.
So, the big question is: how to build add-ons for MM so Gnuite doesn't have to do all the hard work himself?

P.S.: Sorry to be devil advocate here.
