DisposableCache

Just Testing

Let me start by saying I too am new at this but maybe I can help a little. GPS units in general are not going to be exactly "dead on" right down to the spot. With that being said they are an excellent indication of a fairly small area in which the cache is hidden. In my opinion there is an "art" to using your gps to locate the cache and you will improve on your technique with time just as any other task you might try. I use to walk in circles myself frantically looking for the cache so to speak,,,, LOL Here are a few tips I have learned that help me,, they may not help you,,, but try them and see. 1. Remember how your GPS unit works there is a second or so delay so to speak so if your moving allow for that when monitoring the screen while walking, also delays in readings can be dramatic if under tree cover or poor sky visabiltiy. In the case of poor coverage slow down watch the reciever, get a feel for the rate at which the screen updates in relation to your speed of movements. 2. I think this has helped me as much as any....... when you feel your are close to a cache ,,,30 feet or so but cant find it then start by backing off a few feet and with the GPS in navigation mode walk slowly in the direction of the pointer watch the pointer while walking in a "straight line" Note the point where the pointer swings 90 degrees from you, I have found by making a couple passes through an area I can sort of visually triangulate a much smaller spot to search. 3. When you feel you have narrowed the area down as much as posssible forget the GPS and start to think to yourself now where would be a good hiding spot in that area ?? Remember we are all creatures of habit !!! Last but not least Watch where your going especially when around dangerous hills, bluffs roads etc..... it is so easy to get locked on to the GPS unit you forget where you are walking !!! I guess in short im trying to say " you kinda get a feel for it " so to speak Hope I have not confused you even more !!!
