Geocaching - A Different Kind of Treasure Hunting

Yesterday on EuroMaxx at GEM TV, they show how Geocaching works. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game for GPS users.

GPS stands for "Global Positioning System". According to eLook Dictionary, GPS is "[noun] a navigational system involving satellites and computers that can determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth by computing the time difference for signals from different satellites to reach the receiver".

An example of a GPS from http://www.gpslodge.com/

When you check out Geocaching at their website http://www.geocaching.com/, there would be a list of the upcoming treasure hunting event who wants some adventure. Players are usually not alone on this treasure hunting game. The hunters would work with the navigation along with the hints they'll get along the way. Finally when they got the treasure, they would need to put it back to where it belong for the other groups of hunters.

So if you and your friends love adventurous games, this hide-and-seek treasure hunting is the best. Anyway, the treasure itself are things not usable and can be called "useless". The objective is "to find the treasure".
