+gvsu4msu Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Recently Michigan reached the milestone of 100 Wherigos placed. The unique element of this milestone are that none have ever been archived. I was curious about the hiders and finders of Wherigo caches around the USA, Canada, and the world. How many Wherigo FINDS do you have? How many Wherigo HIDES do you have? What is your primary equipment for Wherigo? What is your primary development tool for Wherigo? I look forward to seeing how well received Wherigo is. As for my stats.... 114 Wherigo FINDS 5 Wherigo HIDES Equipment: I use a Colorado 300, but recently got a smart phone and loaded the WhereYuoGo app. Primary development tool: Was the Groundspeak Wherigo Builder, but the 3 Wherigos I am working on right now have all been done with the URWigo software.

Master Mariner Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I have: Two finds Six hides - in London Use an Oregon 550t, PDA and HTC Desire Use Urwigo to create cartridges Quote Link to comment
+Tom_Kat Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 As we also live in Michigan, we've been fortunate to have plenty of Wherigos to play. Here are our stats: How many Wherigo FINDS do you have? 130 finds in 13 states/provinces How many Wherigo HIDES do you have? 4 hides What is your primary equipment for Wherigo? Primarily use a Colorado 400C, but also occasionally use our Oregon 450 and iPhone 3G What is your primary development tool for Wherigo? The Groundspeak builder for the first two, and Urwigo for the 3rd, 4th, and several tutorial cartridges. Urwigo is also being used for several that are in process. Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I might as well participate. Though I've only published eight cartridges, I still own half my state's Wherigo caches. I don't publish all that often because I'm busy with other things (always trying to catch up on cache logs) and, admittedly, I'm not that prolific a cache hider. Also, I'll only make a cartridge if I can't put the cache out as a multi or mystery. How many Wherigo FINDS do you have? I've found 34 in 14 states: PN, GA, SC, WV, KY, NV, WA, FL, WI, IL, MI, TN, MA, and OR. How many Wherigo HIDES do you have? Just eight that are published. What is your primary equipment for Wherigo? I run both a Colorado and iPhone 3G. I like to compare the two. What is your primary development tool for Wherigo? Notepad, after I've done what I can in Groundspeak's Builder. It's a little more challenging to work with Urwigo's output. If I can ever get access to Groundspeak's API, I could configure the Statbar Modifier to make a Wherigo statbar... Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 8 finds Would do more but MrsD isn't a big fan of them 13 hides 9 of those hides are all one series packaged into one cartridge I could easily plug in a new set of waypoints and roll out another multiple-cache series but I like to use new ideas each time really and I've always got plenty of ideas! I had to archive our Shakespeare themed Wherefore art thou Wherigo? (set in Stratford upon Avon) because the final cache went missing and so did an ornate lamp post which was key to one of the stages. Mark Quote Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have 36 but that is pretty much almost every Wherigo I can do in my area. If I was in Ontario, Michigan, Germany, or Czech Republic, could get a lot more! Have done some in WA, OR, BC, ID, NV, AZ, and UT. Quote Link to comment
+MightyReek Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have completed 9 cartridges all of them having a cache associated. I have 4 cartridges published. One of them in someone else's name. One of them is a touristic cartridge created for the Geocoinfest Europe Lisbon 2012. I have two Wherigo caches published in my name. Quote Link to comment
+Afterburned Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) One find and one hide. But that is only due to the lack of them near me - something I aim to change soon (well, in the next few months once I have finished writing it). First was written with Builder, this time I am trying Urwigo. Oh, and I use an HTC Desire Android phone for all GC / WIG activities! Edited October 15, 2012 by Afterburned Quote Link to comment
+Mama Muh Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Finds: 6 Hide: 1 (build with urwigo) Oregon 450 I would be very happy, if Wherigo´s and everything around them would be pushed more by groundspeek. There is not much space left in Germany, so that we need it! And I think there are lots of possibilities to try out and have fun! Quote Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 How many Wherigo FINDS do you have? 11 found, plus 1 completed but DNF'd (cache was there, I am blind) How many Wherigo HIDES do you have? 2 (both still active) - just come up with an idea for a 3rd What is your primary equipment for Wherigo? WhereYouGo app on my Motorola Droid 4 (previously on a Motorola Droid 1) What is your primary development tool for Wherigo? Groundspeak Wherigo Builder Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Found: 61 Wherigo caches. There are four or five I have on my list to do when I can take a drive and focus on those. Hides: two. I rewrote the cartridges for both of these last year and have ideas for two more, if I can complete the storyline and art. Equipment: I started out on the Colorado, but hardware on that unit eventually failed. I have been using an Acer MyPal (pocket pc/gpsr) but lately I have been using the iPhone 5 for convenience. Development Tool: the Groundspeak builder. I never could make much sense out of earwigo or urwigo, but I would try the \\kit for any future projects v Quote Link to comment
+Traditional Bill Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've done almost every Wherigo in the mid-atlantic region (almost). I have 51 played/found as of today and 5 hidden in NJ and DE. I believe my home state of NJ only has about 11 or 12 wherigos. Over 100 wherigos in Michigan? Sounds like I need to take a road trip!

+Delta68 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Currently on 144 finds (still only 13 published hides) We ALWAYS use more than one type of device Between the two of us we have Oregon 300,Oregon 550,iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S4 running WhereYouGo. I could add Mio P500 to that list as well but to be honest, I haven't used it for a few years now. M Quote Link to comment
