Where Should I Start...?

Since the addiction begins very early, you may as well become a Premium Member right away . . . :huh:

 

It only costs $3.00 a month. :huh:

 

Then you can create Pocket Queries which will send you an email attachment containing up to 500 local caches.

 

Many people use the combination of GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) on their PC and Cachemate on an inexpensive Palm so they can cache "Paperless."

 

There is other software available for you to try out as well.

My advice is, before you start using any of the gadgets (pocket queries, GSAK, Cachemate, etc.) just load a couple of cache coordinates into your gps by hand, print the cache page to take with you (you can skip this if you want) and go out and find caches! After that, you might understand WHY you want to use that other stuff.

Go outside and get the coordinates to your house. Come inside and use the hide-n-seek a cache page to locate caches nearby. Find one with a low Terrian/Difficulty numbers (d/t ratings (stars)). Plug the coordinates in your GPSr and have FUN!

Actually that's not far off what I recommend.

 

Go outside. Mark a waypoint. Walk some 100 feet away and 'GOTO' the waypoint. Get a feel for how the gps works.
