Using a GPS like an Etcha-Sketch

[The_Brownies]

I've never seen this before, but I think the idea is "Totally Wicked." Think about this. For a cache you give the user route coordnates. The need to have route tracking enabled. Only after following the coordinates will the cache location be revealed on their GPS Screen. Kind of a cool new concept don't you think? Click on the link below to see what I'm talking about.

There's an older cache around here that uses this concept to reveal the coords to the actual location. It was a lot of fun in a very neat place to wander around.

That's pretty cool. I've been caching for a while, but it wasn't until I did some research for a class I'm taking which is part of a masters Degree program did I run across this idea. I may eventually build a cache on this idea, but I've been way to busy with college to keep up with caches. Maybe I'll set this one out when I graduate in Aug 09.

 

Wish this bulletin board had a spell checker. O well.

and a couple more night caches using the same principle.
