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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
