I know that this is a little off topic, and has probably been discussed
here before, but we used the Iphone geocaching app for the first time
today to find and log a cache. No other GPSr with us. We found and
logged 3 caches at Water Ranch while doing some IR photography. It
worked so well that I suspect that the vast majority of my geocaching
will just be with the Iphone. If there is a Droid version that works as
well as the Iphone one, it will be a winner. <br>
<br>
As for the droid, I was an early adopter of the Iphone, and can't see
myself using any other phone unless something truly earth-shattering
comes out. I see nothing on the horizon that will be that phone yet,
but if I hadn't already jumped into the Iphone world, the droid would
be very interesting. <br>
