Additional The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching Information
|
There are treasures to be found...
They're hidden in city and state parks, outside of nearby buildings, alongside hiking trails and exercise routes, and even in local neighborhoods. This is geocaching, an adventure-based game involving intentionally hidden treasures, i.e. caches, and a standard handheld global positioning system (GPS) unit. The idea behind geocaching is for people to set up caches all over the world, and to then share the GPS coordinates of the caches via the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches, and once found, a cache usually provides its visitor with a wide variety of rewards available for the taking. Authored by a renowned expert on GPS usage and the editors of Geocaching.com, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching is a comprehensive yet easy to understand guide for getting started and having fun with geocaching. AUTHORBIO: Jack W. Peters, a nationally recognized leader in GPS navigation training, has been an active participant and promoter of geocaching since its inception. Certified by the state of Oregon as a search and rescue officer, Jack is the co-founder and manager of an off-road vehicle search and rescue team for the Lane County Sheriff's Office known as the Special Vehicles Group, publisher of GPS Navigator Magazine.com, and the author of The GPS Navigation Guide and the soon-to-be published Off-Road Field Guide.
The Staff and Editors of Geocaching.com have been involved with geocaching since its inception, and are widely recognized as pioneers and custodians of this rapidly growing adventure-based activity.

What Customers Say About The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching:

It's past time for an rewrite. Bottom line. Lots of good info but much of it is way out of date.
This is a good FIRST STEP book, but we ready to purchase another book to get more information. Good book if you've never heard of Geocaching and want to know a little about it, but if you want in-depth information and any details related to specific workings of GPSr's look elsewhere. I read through it quickly, looking to get lots of questions answered but came up short.
It's tempting to grab your new GPS out of the box and wing it, but without this guide you will be missing out on the many features of your unit. Everyone who plans to launch the geocaching hobby needs this book.
Also fun to read. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to try out the fun pasttime of geocaching. Tells you everything you need to know in a clear easy to understand way.
Buy this book. Well written and gave me most info that was easy to follow. If you are starting out and want to have an educated start.
