Geocaching iPhone Application Updated to 2.3

I love my new iPhone, and I love Geocaching.

Groundspeak has just realeased a new update to their Geocaching application. Here's a run-down of the new features:

In this update, we have added some of the most often requested features, including:

-The 3Gs compass is now supported.
-Field notes can now be automatically published to the cache page as a cache log using the app.
-The number of trackable items in a cache is now visible on the geocache list.

In this update, we have also addressed some issues, including:

-A series of bugs caused some geocache data to be lost, even if it had been saved. These bugs have been fixed.
-The difficulty and terrain ratings for caches are no longer rounded down in some cases.
-Search by Address now works for any type of address. Previously, there were documented issues with non-U.S. addresses.

This is a great update, especially for a 3GS owner, like me.

I'm excited to see how well the new compass functionality works.
