During the Mobile World Congress, Trimble announced the availability of a free, ad-supported version of its Geocache Navigator application for select S60 Nokia devices with integrated GPS.
Using their GPS-enabled phone — like Nokia N95, N95 8GBm N82, or Nokia 6110 Navigator — geocachers can seek the caches using a uniquely constructed, radar-like interface that guides them toward their destination. Additionally, phone screens provide compass-based navigation, maps, speed, heading, location, distance, cache descriptions, logs, hints and other useful information…
In case you're wondering what exactly is geocaching, you should know it's kind of a high-tech treasure hunt that is rapidly gaining widespread adoption worldwide. Geocache Navigator brings geocaching capabilities to the mobile phone and provides real-time access to Groundspeak's geocache database - geocaching.com.

You can get the Geocache Navigatior either by texting CACHE to 32075 (U.S. and Canada) or +447781488133 (International); or by downloading application from Geocache Navigator web site; or by pointing your mobile phone browser to m.getGN.com and take it from there.
