Customer Reviews

Beginning Geocaching

A short and to the point review on the essence of Geo-Caching. Nothing earth-shattering, just the basics on how the event works, the types of equipment you will use and how to get started. Similar information is available on-line from various sites, but for the cost of $0.46 used I just couldn't pass this up.

Bob the Cacher

Great book a "must read" for those into geocaching or want to know about it.

Basics of navigation, outdoor safety and geocaching games

Both beginning and experienced geocachers can learn the basics of navigation, outdoor safety and geocaching games through this survey of an outdoor activity all ages can enjoy. 'Geocaching' uses a GPS receiver and map, compass and computer access to locate a 'virtual cache'. The better you hone your GPS navigational skills, the more quickly a cache can be located. A 'cache' is a hidden location where players can leave a variety of 'treasure' and clues - geocaching is a fun concept and Mike Dyer's The Essential Guide To Geocaching: Tracking Treasure With Your GPS provides all the basics.
