+The Zachalope Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) As I was searching for new caches, just saw that geocaching was mentioned on the show Modern Marvels: 90's technology. If you're interested in the mechanics and history of GPS, it has a lot of neat information and a shot of the room that controls all of the GPS satellites. So, check to see the next time that it's on, or TIVO it. The whole episode is pretty interesting. -Zach Fenton, Michigan Edited February 8, 2008 by zchoppad Quote Link to comment
