The Geocaching Handbook (Falcon Guide)by Layne Cameron
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Geocaching is one of the fastest growing outdoor sports of the millennium, combining aspects of treasure hunting, high-tech navigation, and exploration. To get started all you have to do is select a local cache listing from a geocaching Web site, enter the waypoint or coordinates into your GPS unit, and then plot your route to adventure. The Geocaching™ Handbook is your complete introduction to this fascinating outdoor activity. Discover how to: • Select a cache listing and begin your hunt for the treasure • Buy a GPS receiver and use it to navigate to the cache • Create and hide your own cache for others to find • Practice backcountry safety and geocaching etiquette • Play other geo-games, such as “Are U Nuts?” and “Geodashing” • Connect with other geocachers through clubs and geo-events And you’ll learn how the game began - from its creator, Dave Ulmer. This book contains everything you need to know to get started in this fun, family-friendly outdoor pastime. Book News Annotation:Armed with a GPS unit and the ability to walk and look around at the
same time, most of us can get within a few feet of a treasure.
Outdoorsman Ulmer explains the operations, conventions, and etiquette
of this new sport, based on the time-honored tradition of the
treasure hunt and new technologies of satellite navigational systems.
Players hide and seek prizes, operating from clues designed to
challenge their back-country skills. The author knows whereof he
writes: he admits it pays to pack extra batteries, a map, and a
compass just in case.
