YouTube. If you’ve been wondering what creative things you can
do with your GPS unit you should learn about GeoCaching. Started
as a way to celebrate the end of selective availability,
GeoCaching uses GPS technology to find hidden treasures. If you
like the idea of geocaching but don’t have a GPS unit, this is
an alternative to treasure hunting. Similar to the idea of
geocaching in which a treasure is hidden and coordinates are
provided for clues, “dropspots” are also hidden locations but
clues are provided via a Google Maps interface and a description
of the treasure’s location. You can search for locations by
address or ZIP code or use the simple interface to drop your
location onto the map and add a description of where your
dropspot is hidden. Earth as Art The USGS and NASA have teamed
