Let's make a wishlist. I'm trying to think what I can do to add to my
geocaching experience. Any thoughts on what would make geocaching more
fun, interesting, easy, etc?

1 - Head's up display (HUD) that fit over sunglasses - so I wouldn't have to
keep my head buried in the GPS while hiking through the woods.

2 - A GPS that would make a _GOOD_ Latte.

On demand audible cues for people with low vision. Some people have trouble
seeing the map and you may not want to drag along a laptop on a hike or
while on a bike.

Maybe something like pressing two buttons at once and hearing "Continue
Straight", "Fifty Feet / Thirty Meters to Marked Point".

Along those lines, how about a simple audio tone or beep that sounds
more and more frequently the closer you get to ground zero? A steady
tone indicates you are there!

Geocaching is more fun and much more interesting when it´s N O T easy!
It´s not the fast found of a box, it´s the way!

I can't do a lot about co-ed naked geocaching, but I would make an
open source GPS that is highly optimized for caching. In fact, the
heads up display is not all that far fetched. I am a freelance
electrical engineer and one of the guys I know recently did a heads up
display for a government job. I expect that would not be hard to add
to an open source GPS... as long as you have the cash (not cache) for
it. I don't think it would be cheap.

As to the limited vision support, that wouldn't be hard, but it would
involve the support of users to provide input and feedback.
