The biggest challenge would be a mapping from gps coordinates to regions/postcodes or such. If you have this information, you could do all sorts of crazy stuff. But i doubt these data would be very easy to get.

I've seen it at another contract I worked a year ago, but not sure if the GPS-to-US-zip-code data was freely available or a paid service. The database I used for my job there had the entire US postal code regions mapped out based on latitude/longitude so the data IS out there. Just a matter of seeing if it's free to download from somewhere. The database was gigantic though, I'm not sure it's something you'd want to store on the device itself.
