If the package costs $6.99/mo for the three programs, I'm in, based on a preliminary run through the software. (Subject to change, of course, based on more thorough assessment.)

Honestly, I was going to try to write a similar geocaching program because, even though Trimble was available, it didn't support the/my Blackberry.

More on the cost... If I didn't have a GPS unit, the 6.99/mo cost model would work for me even more, because it would cost me ~$200 for a servicable GPS unit (non-color and/or limited maps), this offers more, including immediate access to local geocaching info, for about 28 months - at the same price. All on my Blackberry. (Caveat: I can use my GPS unit anywhere for geocaching/backcountry nav... I need a signal for this. I'll fully acknowlege that limitation, too.)

I hope that makes sense. I think it does. I'm definitely going to try it.
