We love to geocache!   When I saw this new release and started playing with it I was excited.  Great job!

I just started a little family website and would like to add our geocaching data so the kids can look back over time to see our adventures.
I think I understand most of what needs to be done to accomplish this and I think I can use the Map Module to do everything I need.

My questions are:
I have no need for the "Address"  can I hide this or rename this for another use like specifying a category or other?
What format do the geo coordinates have to be in for them to display on the map?   Is it always "Decimal" format?
If you really are feeling adventurous would you consider supporting imports of GPX exchange files into the map?   I would make this #1  LOL
Will you be adding icon support for the Directory display type?

And lastly if anyone else has done this for geocaching please let me know.  I would love to hear your experience with setup and display.

Address is only used by the system when it has to handle the Geocoding - it can be used for whatever purpose needed once geocoding has been completed. Also the the Geo coordinates are always stored in decimal format (0.00 or 0,00 depending on your localization). Also - I am working on KML,XML, and GPX formats already ;)
