The other unfortunate catch is that you're probably violating the
copyright of MapQuest and their partners by providing this service in a
public capacity. This might help:

Anyone who chooses to use this, or expose it publically, should be
aware of the licensing associated with the content they are reproducing.
Just my 0.02 cents. Where is the app located?

I'm sure it would be very useful, but lets figure out how to make it
work without violating the copyrights of the people who actually pay for the
content itself (MapQuest, GeoLocate), and make it available to the public en
masse.
