Guest jeremy Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 That's really weird (fitting forum for it). Seems like the people at Molson are having all the fun though! Jeremy Quote Link to comment
Guest makaio Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 So the GPS device actually transmits it's location when the cap is twisted off. It doesn't say if it simply transmits once, or if it's continous. It'd be fun to pop the top while on a train or driving along a freeway Or maybe open the bottle and place it on a boat, sit back and watch the fun! I wonder if the transmitter works indoors?

Guest PneumaticDeath Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Instead of "You are the search engine", in this case "You are the cache". I had a crazy idea once (okay more than once), but this one involved a cache that had a gps unit in it, a satellite internet connection,and was put inside a watertight container set adrift in the pacific ocean. There would be a web page with the (current) location of the cache. Finding it would be tricky. -- Mitch Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremy Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 I had a talk with one of these companies about using their tracking devices and making them hitchikers, but they wanted me to pay for them. Yuk. They can get expensive. Battery power would be the biggest concern. You'd have to have an extremely low power device, solar powered, or nuclear to keep it going for any good deal of time.

That is incredible.. My dad used to work in that field.....Setting acceptable limits for uranium miners etc., and even visited the surrounding towns near Chernobyl for the UN. I can remember running around the house with my siblings with geiger counters as a kid...... Amazing how many things actually DO give off radiation. Quote Link to comment

Finding it would be tricky. Every time I think I've got the best Idea for a cache, someone's beaten me to it!! Agh!! Well, great minds think alike, right?
