TheWeston's Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I am contemplating a geocaching camping trip but am wondering how I would go about logging finds, travel bugs and geocoins etc. Anyone know of any capsites at suitable locations with free wireless access? Or does anyone know of any websites for finding wireless access? Quote Link to comment

+keehotee Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 If you've got bt broadband you might find that you get 250 minutes bt openzone wifi a month as part of the deal - or get a "fonero" router, set up a hotspot of your own, and cash in when you're away from home..... Quote Link to comment
TheWeston's Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have heard about fonero and have considered that but is there a map showing where the other locations are? Quote Link to comment
+Gushoneybun Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Try this it gives you details of access points and it does show free access. Access Points there is a button to select for free access. Quote Link to comment

+Lost in Space Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Go to Fon Maps, click on POI's and get a .gpx file of all free access points in whatever country you are in. Put in GSAK or Memory Map and voila! Edited July 29, 2007 by Lost in Space Quote Link to comment

Lactodorum Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 There was a discussion about this some months ago (FiFi waypoints) Quite a few cachers installed one. Quote Link to comment

+dino-irl Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Mc Donalds "Restaurants" have wireless access in a lot of them and AFAIK it's free. I've seen a list for the ones in Ireland before but not sure where you would find the UK ones. Quote Link to comment
