Thanks this is fantastic. Going from address is fairly straightforward as you say.

However, I am looking to use the GPS or tower triangulation built into newer phones. I'm assuming this is available through the ipHone and android APAs?

Is any of your code open-source by any chance? Just looking for some tips as to how to get started - even the basics.

There's plenty of code on the Nokia wiki, including a complete compass application: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/GPS_Compass
