Have a couple of wi-fi caches lined up, just waiting for some info from one of our fantastic reviewers :laughing:

 

OK I've been out and flagellated myself with a bunch of frozen nettles ;) oh and I'm sure you've not yet read the email sat in your in-box :) with happy,happy,happy news :laughing:

 

I have one - its a simple offset with a twist - the twist being that you use your PDA/laptop to look for new hot spots and the coordinates for the cache pop up in the list of available routers.

 

Its at a relatives house - I bought a cheap wifi router for £4 on ebay, changed the coordinate names and just plugged it in - its not connected to anything on the network side.

 

The cache itself is a bit cryptive in its description though so you either need to be a bit of a techie or do a google search on its title to "get" it. Several don't - and I've had a couple of comments from newbies who "know the area very well" and "couldn't find anything with the coordinates on it".

anyone ever thoght about a WIFI "TECHNO" Cache?

 

bassicly you show up at GZ enter a basic Network key like "cachelog" and log via smartphone/pda/netbook onto a webpage or drop box?

 

do these exsist? :);):laughing: w

Not quite the same thing, but in some of the Royal Parks I've got some caches where you follow the route using a mobile phone with a web browser. In each case there are a dozen or so virtual stages where you answer a question on a web page and it takes you to the next page, with the pages being small so they look OK on a tiny screen and don't cost the earth in data charges. The last stage takes you out of the park to the nearby cache.

Cheers for the help Deci, I thought it better asking advice first!

 

Dunno what I can do about the icy roads, MBFace!
