New geotrail in Iceland. I need help

[Steinninn]

I've created a geotrail with 15 caches around Iceland all hidden at famous film locations. I'm printing pamphlets to distribute in hotels and tourist informations to advertise the geotrail. There is very little space, but I'll squeeze in a list of the 15 caches, and I was wondering if I should include the GC code. The main reason to have it is for people that are familiar with geocaching, they could use it to find the cache on their mobile phone more easily. The downside is that people that don't know what geocaching is might find having the code confusing.

 

So I want to ask you, do you ever use the GC code? Would it be of any help if you had these on a pamphlets?

 

If you want to check out the geotrail, i created a facebook page for it at facebook.com/IFLgeotrail

That looks pretty awesome - yet another reason to go back to Iceland

 

I don't generally use GC codes but in the situation you describe I think I would, it'd make it a lot quicker to look up the cache and when you're on holiday you don't want to waste too much time planning and researching.

Will this be a Geotrail where Cachers receive a prize for finding all of the caches?

hope you are able to finish it before go to Iceland in September.....

 

and it would be handy if you include the GC code, so we can look it up.

We are using the GC code most of the time.

The geotrail is up already. The list is here:

I just have to print out the pamphlets. And no, there will be no price except the adventure of finding the caches.

I'd say YES put in the GC. Unless the cacher has an keyboard that matches the cache name it is hard to look up by name.

 

I should be heading there in the spring. Now all I need is a way to get topo maps for Iceland on my 60CSx. What do Icelanders use?
