What is Geocaching? Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game
for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to
take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps
unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations
set up caches all over the world and share the locations of
these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the
location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may
provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the
visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try
to leave something for the cache. How do you pronounce
Geocaching? You pronounce it Geo-cashing, like cashing a check.
Are there any other names for Geocaching? The word Geocaching
broken out is GEO for geography, and CACHING for the process of
hiding a cache. A cache in computer terms is information usually
stored in memory to make it faster to retrieve, but the term is
also used in hiking/camping as a hiding place for concealing and
preserving provisions. Wh
