Ouch you should do what I do and jail break your iPhone. Then you can
use it as a wireless hub to the internet using PDAnet.

That looks like what I should be doing. Right now I'm just yanking
tiles of their server. The problem with the API is they make it hard
to specify the exact bounds of the image they return for you. Also
each image contains the a scale bar and a red star at the center. So
i'll have to do a bit of hacking to fix that.
