iPhone + Geolocation + P2P

Since Apple's announced new embeddable Google Maps for the iPhone, not to mention the new P2P support, perhaps it's not too much to ask to get a cool new proximity-based alerting system?

Such a system could be used for geocaching or even friend-finding (the real kind of friend-finding where you already know the person...)

they could just as easily support google latitude natively with push event when you are close to someone with which you are sharing locations.

question is... are you comfortable with people knowing where you are at all times?

also, there is the always-on-gps == shorter-battery-life issue for those of us that have nothing to hide ;)
