"I didn't try this on the forbidden 
app (c:geo) but I know it will read a GPX from the sd card too."

A discussion or info I have obviously missed.
Forbidden app? Please elaborate.

What if you don't have a data plan (like an itouch or iPad) and cell service 
or wifi isn't available? If you can't send an email or access dropbox, 
aren't you up a creek unless you have access to a PC with itunes so you can 
transfer the file?

On the droid the GPX can be transferred using the usb cable and just copied 
to the micro sd card.  Then the GS app will look for the GPX on the SD card 
and display the list of caches ready for finding. Just tried it tonight 
using a GPX from GSAK and it works fine.  I didn't try this on the forbidden 
app (c:geo) but I know it will read a GPX from the sd card too.

Lets say your caching buddy emails you a GPX file of caches we are going to 
do for the day. (Or Lets say he has the netbook with the gpx file on it for 
you in the car).  Your challenge is to figure out how to get that GPX file 
into your iphone   Groundspeak geocaching app.

Can you do it and how did you do it? Show your work.

Discuss....
(Lets NOT discuss the TOS issues)
