I've been playing with this feature for a few days. There are a couple of
things people should know.
1. As of now there is no way to distinguish between caches you have and
have not found.
2. The projections of location of a cache are slightly random. Every time
you move the map or move closer in or further out, the cache points jump a
bit. I think the actual location is within about a 75' circle of the actual
cache location
3. There are icon types for different cache types....traditional, multi,
etc...
4. There can only be a limited number of caches on screen at one time, but
that number is either 75 or 150, depending on who you want to believe....:)

Not sure if anyone else has sent this out to the list already, but I just
found it tonight and thought it was pretty cool. Go to your account page on
gc.com. On the right side is a section titled Google Mapping Features. You
can download a geocache browser for the Google Earth Program. You can zoom
into an area and it'll show up to 150 caches. Click on the cache icon to get
info. The info box has links to the cache page, to bookmark it, and get
directions to and from it.
