As an avid geocacher[1], I like to be aware whenever there's geocaches
near a place I'm going to visit. This usually is a tedious process, but
GEO + Web Services could make it omnipresent in my Web experience.

On the topic of Operator, version 0.6.1 isn't working for me at all in
Firefox 2.0.0.1/OS X. Anyone else having this problem? I even
double-checked it on the ocono.com page used in the demo screenshot.
