I am a business traveler in Mumbai at the moment for a 3 week trip. I have my Magellan 210 with me and it worked just now as I walked onto the roof of the hotel and picked up 8 satellites. It works here in India just as it does anywhere else in the world. However, for the number of people in India there are VERY FEW GC sites. I only found one in all of the Mumbai area which I will try to visit some time this trip if possible. I am also considering creating some caches of my own but am worried about how I can avoid them getting disturbed by muggles. As for getting GPS units, you can surely get them from specialty electronics or sports stores, but I imagine they will probably be fairly pricy here and there apparently does not seem to be much of a market for them...

I agree camzotter. I go to Mumbai regularly and there are only 3 caches within 200 miles of this biggest city in the world. Way to few caches. I am considering establishing one in the heart of the land of muggels. The key will be making it muggel-proof. How? RottenWood I agree, I am currently in Mumbai and there is very little here. I only saw one via a search through the online maps - on Elefanta Island. I will to get there during this 3 week stay I have here. I was considering setting up some caches, but wondered about the local laws as well as the immense number of possible muggles. Have you had any ideas how to muggle proof a cache?

I am currently in India (19d 01.494N and 073d 02.204E) Mumbai on a long (3 week) business trip. I can only find One Geocache site within a 200+ mile area. I will try to visit that one - elephanta caves - but not sure I will get there. I was considering setting up additional geocaching sites here as I come here fairly frequently. This is my 6th trip in 4 years. I have been concerned about setting up a site as I am not native to the area and don't know the local laws perhaps as well as I should. Last time I was here I went to Matheran and would like to do so again and put a site there, but again, not sure the legality of it.
