I am adding a new dimension to my travels - Geocaching!
As you might have noticed I am not doing too well with my GPS. I have said on several occasions that the surest way to get lost on a trip is to rely on a GPS.
Well, since I am sponsored by Garmin and T4A I owe it to these guys to make sure I can use this devise and use it well. I am told that one of the ways to learn how to use a GPS well (even to a micro level) is to go "Geocaching".
What is "Geocaching"?
Well, according to http://www.geocaching.com:
Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache.
Basically it's people using military hardware to find Tupperware containers.
With this hobby I have so much to learn. It's not only the finer workings of the GPS (at this stage that seems to be the easy part...
While on my quest to learn more about GPS's and Geocaches I will document my finds here. Active Geocachers please take note that these posts will most likely contain spoilers.
