Great Product! - One Request

I have an 8310.  I just started geocaching a few weeks ago.  My process was printing pages from www.geocaching.com then searching for the coordinates in Google Maps and turning on satellite view.  This works great, but as others have said, this was a tedious process and did not allow for spontaneous searches.  I have tried to log onto the website through the BB browser which was so slow that I have given up on that option.  This product rocks.  Thank you for developing and linking to Geocaching.com. 

I would request one thing, can you add a menu option to copy the current cache coordinates onto clipboard so that they can be pasted into another app on the Blackberry?

I was thinking the same thing today. I have a Gamin 76CS which I normally have with me but today, for the first time, I had just my Blackberry and my external GPS. What I like about the Garmin is it allows me to drive via a route to a point and then I get out and search for the cache. That's much easier then just following a compass arrow in an area you aren't familiar with.

So I thought it would be cool to somehow link GN with Google Maps or BB Maps to provide routing within their app to the general location.

Why not just use the map view? It has street maps as well as Topo Maps and Arial Photos?
