Also GPX:

        <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPX>

        "GPS eXchange Format is an XML schema designed for transferring
        GPS data between software applications. It can be used to
        describe waypoints, tracks, and routes."

        <http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp>

I think being able to "move" places from a website onto a GPS device,
via GPX (which seems widely supported), is likely to be the "killer
application" for Geo. (I've also suggested GPX to Mike Kaply, for use by
Operator).
