Wish I could have had my GPS years ago!


Recommended Posts

I got to thinking about my Navy years and how cool it would have been to have had a good GPS when we were out to sea! It would have made crossing the Atlantic Ocean (more times than I care to remember) a lot less boring! Plus the added benefit of using it in a foreign country like Saudi Arabia that doesn't use street signs!! Oh well..Just thinking.

and..and..and.. have it take you back in time to the moment you grabbed that location.

 

In my case that would be June, 1993. Amsterdam.

 

But even with hunting geocaches this feature could help.

If you run out of daylight or break your leg while being chased by a pack of rabid hamsters, you can just blink back to your car (and/or home)

 

This could lead to caches that aren't locationless, but timeless instead.

 

(cue Rod Serling) You are hunting a cache in another place in another time.

Things may not be what they seem, here in the Twi...er...Satellite Zone.
