What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is when somebody hides some hidden treasure somewhere and places the GPS Coordinates online. Others, geocachers, then use those coordinates to find the treasure with their own GPS Systems. Often there are riddles to find the treasures, rather than just using the coordinates.

All you need to start geocaching is a GPS System.

Start Geocaching

All you have to do to start Geocaching is get yourself a GPS System. You can either buy one yourself or borrow one from someone else. Then go to a website like Geocaching.com, where people have posted Geocaches online and start hunting for a geocache. You can also find geocaches at the websites of the GPS System manufacturers.

History of Geocaching

Geoaching began in the late 1990s when someone hid a treasure somewhere and put the GPS coordinates on the internet.
