What is geocaching and how does it work?
Geocaching is a type of global treasure hunt of people looking for caches, or hidden stashes of objects. Seekers use global positioning system (GPS) devices to find hidden caches. Caches are the hidden treasure. After registering online, geocachers look for coordinates (the longitude and latitude) of caches.
What is the point of geocaching?
Geocachers seek out treasures hidden by other players while exploring interesting locations. At its most basic level, geocaching is a game where players use GPS receivers to track down a container, or cache.
Which is an example of a Geocaching Challenge?
Challenge caches require a geocacher to complete a reasonably attainable geocaching-related task before being able to log the find. Examples include finding a number of caches that meet a category, completing a number of cache finds within a period of time, or finding a cache for every calendar day.
How many Geocaches can I load in a day?
With Pocket Queries, you can load up to 1000 at a time (per query) with a maximum of 10 queries per day. So each day you can load up to 10,000 geocache listings. It takes people years to accumulate 10,000 finds so here are some tips. Create a few PQs to cover every cache in your city or local region.
Why was geocaching added to the Global Positioning System?
Geocaching was conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from the Global Positioning System on May 2, 2000 ( Blue Switch Day. ), because the improved accuracy of the system allowed for a small container to be specifically placed and located.
How does a geocacher prove they found a cache?
The geocacher signs the log with their established code name and dates it, in order to prove that they found the cache. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it.
