| Haven't Heard About Geocaching? |
| GPS systems have been developed for use to identify latitude and longitude positions, altitude, waypoints, compass directions, rate of travel and the like. In 2000 GPS units began to be used by the public in a new sport/hobby called geocaching. The purpose of this session is to introduce geomugglers (persons who are new to geocaching) about how to use a GPS unit, the history of geocaching, types of caches, cache hunting rules, planting a cache and the benefits of caching. Two-hour session begins in the convention center and goes outside midway through. |
