hi, @Michael There won't be a way to use native apps and native services with safari unless exposed via javascript. (Everything based on SDK Event keynote, so not under NDA). If you will use Safari as web view in native application than you can use location api. If you do not have native application then certainly some native application can launch Safari browser and navigate to some page. You don't need Google Maps native app now to show some location and even directions. Google has just released "maplets" map api which lets you use google maps to show locations, directions, etc (more features then in yahoo static images): http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ and there are plenty of free geo apis services (to let you get geodata for some postcode or lat/long even using javascript injection communcation - so this won't have to use server side proxy),
