I get 'geocaching australia mobile' and a box to click to say log in, can do that and lets me put in log in details all fine, then the only difference is the box says 'log out'

Have you got location services turned on for the browser?

(in the browser press menu->more->settings then scroll down and there should be a tick next to 'enable location')

I test on Android 2.2 using the standard browser, I think I had to turn on that to get it to work first time.

Give DolphinHD browser a go (fere in the market)

There are geolocation issues I'm aware of on the default browser with android 2.1 but 2.2 fixed that.

I have an HTC Desire running Android 2.2, using default browser (Webkit 3.1)
Phone is unlocked, not rooted (if you'll pardon the expression) and connected to Telstra 3G, however I tested it while connected to my wireless
router.

Everything seemed to work well until I tried to enter a cache log.
The drop down box showed "Found It" , no other options. (Not sure if there are other options implemented).
There was no <send> button either.

Is there a list of functions so we know what we are testing?

Looks very promising, great work.

I have got a fair bit to do with the mobile site and not enough time right now, so what I'm going to do is lock this thread till theres something to test. Shouldn't be too far away, just got other irons in the fire right now.
