New Paperless Geocaching Solution
Ξ October 21st, 2009 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Geocaching |
Back in April of 2007 I first posted about my paperless geocaching solution. This solution has changed over the years from a Dell Axim with a handheld GPS and then with a bluetooth GPS, to a WinMo smartphone with the Cachemate software (a great little program) and a bluetooth GPS, to most recently an iPhone with Groundspeak’s Geocaching iPhone Application. The iPhone geocaching app rocks and combined with the iphone’s GPS, internet access and Google Maps it makes for a fantastic urban geocaching solution. I include urban because I haven’t tested this yet outside of the phones coverage area. My search continues for a great iPhone waterproof and protective case, something along the lines of an Otterbox 2600. The season is changing here in Michigan and protecting the phone while geocaching will be a priority. I have used zip-lock bags, but plastic bags lack shock protection and tear easily. My latest paperless is the best yet and I recommend the app to all Geocaching iPhone owners.
