What is Wherigo™

[+Nwilwohl]

Why aren't there many of them and what is it? It sounds very outdated

The Help Center article has useful information and links: An Introduction to Wherigo

It was an idea that seemed fun, but was never really properly developed.

I think Wherigos are great caches, when done right. The problem is they are hard to right because they are not well supported. They may work for one type of Garmin (and not new ones going forward) and not for the type of phone you have, or vice versa. Done right, they are the best kind of caches I think. However, its sadly and painfully obvious Jeremy is not increasing the effort to increase support for them.

 

Garmin is not supporting them anymore so if they are ever supported, it will be in android or the like phones.

 

The Emulator program to write the programs also has not been updated in a long time so unless you are very computer proficient, you have to run it in an older Operating System like Vista or something.

 

I still like them as a whole.

I love Wherigo caches. I have a gamin Colorado and im able to do them.I wish they would make it easy to create a cache but its much to difficult now to create one.

I love wherigos as well. They take a lot more effort than hiding a regular, but can be worth it. The Garmin devices aren't well supported, but There are apps for iPhones and Android phones that work well.
