We keep seeing more and more geolocation aware or augmented reality twitter apps, but if it's getting too confusing to you why not simply use the built-in maps application?

Indeed, your built-in maps app can do a lot more than you think, for example it can display geolocated tweets on a map. All you have to do is enter

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[the username].rss

in the search field and the tweets will pop-up according to where they were posted, you can even read the tweet itself by selecting it.

If you don't know anybody who geolocates his tweets you can try this one: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/noradio.rss

Could come handy in your next manhunt...
