| Ask Mr. Boating Guy |
|
Mr. Boating Guy,
I just received a GPS unit as an early Christmas present. The harbor is too
frozen to try it out on the water, any suggestions on how to try it out on land?
|
You will enjoy
Geocaching. It's a new adventure game for GPS users.
Participants go 'treasure hunting' for a secret cache hidden in a remote or
unusual location.
|
Armed with a set of coordinates, a good map, and your GPS unit, the hunt
for the treasure begins. It's not as easy as it sounds. It can be tricky to
pinpoint the exact location, and there could be a river or a mountain
between you and the geocache. The cache is usually stored in a water-proof
container, inside is a stash of secret treasures and a log book to register
your name. The custom is to take an item and leave a new item for the next
person who finds the geocache. This is a great way to try out your new GPS
receiver and challenge your navigation skills.

The
Geocaching.com web site details the rules of the hunt and lists many
caches hidden all over the world. You may type in your zipcode to locate
the coordinates of the closest geocache to your home port. Happy hunting.
