Geocaching is a high-tech treasure
hunting game played throughout the
world by adventure seekers equipped
with GPS devices. Geoca
ching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide
game of hiding and seeking treasure. The basic idea
is to hide containers (caches) and post the locations
of these caches on the Internet. Anyone with a
GPS receiver can enter the locations’ coordinates
to find the caches and then log the caches at
www.geocaching.com to show that they’ve found
them. Geocaching participants include people from all age
groups, including families with children, students,
adults and retirees. It is a worldwide activity with a
strong sense of community and support for the
environment. Since September of 2000, geocaching
has grown from 75 caches in several countries to
hundreds of thousands of caches all over the world. How Does GPS Work? Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers tap into
a satellite network from anywhere in the world to
accurately pinpoint specific geographic locations. A location is identified by measuring its distance
from at least three satellites by a process called
trilateration. A geocacher can place a cache anywhere in the
world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology
and then alert others to the cache’s existence and
location via the Internet. Anyone with a GPS receiver
can then hunt for the cache
