iPhone support seems to be working slightly better now, but there are still some issues. They can be partially in Google's Maps API code, and partially in Apple's Safari code, and the fixes need to be done there.
There are bug reports in Google's bug tracker for the issues (I filed a couple, and there are a couple more submitted by others). I'm hoping that the good people at Google will fix them, or persuade Apple to fix their bugs.
- After panning the map, new points for the area are not correctly loaded, because the maps API doesn't give the correct corner coordinates for the currently visible area.
- You can't tap on an item, because click events do not fire on markers.
- You can't zoom or switch map type, since the standard Map controls (GSmallMapControl, GHierarchicalMapTypeControl) cannot be clicked on an iPhone.
Update: I have obtained an iPod Touch for debugging, and enhanced iPhone support for APRS!

Thanks for taking the time to work on this!
Quick question: I'm using a Blackberry to view static maps. How can I set preferences for static maps to be imperial/Fahrenheit units and local time zone.
