Bryan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Team TOF (trackonfly) is spending today geocaching in Germany. You can follow their adventure here: http://live.geocaching.com Geocaching Live is a new Groundspeak beta project focused on real-time social interactions among geocachers. While geocaching outdoors you can post logs, images and video related to your current geocaching adventure for others to see in real-time! More information will be coming soon...

+Too Tall John Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Could be interesting. Looks like they were stuck, I can see where it might be handy, having yet another way to communicate that. 13.02. 21:07 We are now safe and having beer. Thanks to Andreas, Oliwer and Peter for towing us out. What a relief.A question. The info at the bottom of the page saysThe current beta version of the client runs on these phones - more supported phones and platforms will emerge soon. What are the phones, I don't see them listed there? Quote Link to comment
Skippermark Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I remember hearing that GC would be implementing more social aspects to geocaching. I think that's cool. I peeked at the site and think it has great potential. Quote Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Cool. I see lots of potential for "on our way to Geowoodstock" trips this summer. Zooming way out, I see several other people in Finland. However, when I try to pan over to them, the map snaps back to Team TOF's position after a few seconds. Is this by design? btw, I'm running Firefox 3.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, in case you need to know. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sounds really cool! Will there be a Facebook application too? Quote Link to comment

However, when I try to pan over to them, the map snaps back to Team TOF's position after a few seconds. Is this by design? under the map you can find a Stop button, after pressing it you can zoom out and move the map without it snapping back to tema tof. by double clicking a user name set follow to that user... -Joorz- Quote Link to comment
+haksu10 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A question.

+Leaky Spoon Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Not too many phone supported, though I was SURE my Tilt would be on there ... maybe soon. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Cool. I see lots of potential for "on our way to Geowoodstock" trips this summer. That would be really cool. One could follow lots of different cachers converging on Bell Buckle, TN. It would be a really nice feature for the iPhone geogaching app. Anytme you were out geocaching you see who else was geocaching (that had a supported device ) in the area and meet some new geocachers. Some my find being someone else to see where you are geocaching kind of scary, especially if you've the latest Wired magazine article on GPS tracking. Quote Link to comment
+Parabola Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Interesting. Been watching them for a little while now and waiting to see what happen's. Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Very kewl! We've got a local group setting up a 24 hour cache run to nab one cache in each South Florida county to meet the requirements for a puzzle cache. It would be neat to be able to follow their quest, sharing the run vicariously. Quote Link to comment
