If is primarily about the secret rather than the Trust, 
then why isn't it called the 'Specialis Charm'?

It is actually called the 'Fidelius Charm', and that very 
strongly implies that 'Fidelity' is at the core of it.

Very true. I hadn't concidered that as an actual condition. I had assumed that the reason of the fidelity rested in the simple trust of whom they would choose. Also, I wouldn't have thought that a condition of the charm would be naming a specific group or individual as being forbidden but, rather, that the inherent trust of whoever was chosen as keeper would be enough to secure the secret from anyone wanting to cause harm.

I guess that's why I woudl think that the charm would still be in effect and not broken just by telling. That's also why I think there is still a charm on the exact location.

If Harry doesn't know where the location is I would think he has to either get the info from Pettigrew or figure out how to sense the magic Voldemort used to destroy his parents.

Maybe I'm alone in all of this, but I'm not afraid to be totally wrong. You all have great points and I'm interrested to see how the story unfolds. Thanks for the insights and taking time to respond. Maybe this will move on to a new topic (since I started this thread... maybe it will keep going? Whoo knows).

:) Sorry if I bored some of you.
