+GOT GPS? Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) GEOCACHING - HKE AND SEEK WITH YOUR GPS By Erik Sherman Got this book unexpectedly today. Have you gotten yours yet? Edited April 8, 2004 by GOT GPS? Quote
SunshineSnuz Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Glad to see I'm not the only one! Mine should be waiting on my doorstep when I get home (according to my email anyway ) Did you happen to notice that the name of the book has changed since you ordered it? It used to be: GeoCaching: Hiding, Hiking, and HiTEch. Interesting that the title has changed.... Quote

+Team DEMP Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Someone ordered it for me for Xmas so I guess I should be getting it soon. Also, looks like someone's written An Idiots Guide to Geocaching book too. Here's the links for anyone interested... Geocaching: Hike and Seek with Your GPS Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching Quote

+The Marauders Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Folks, Not to be negative, but do we really need a book on this subject? Much less, three books? I thought the sport of geocaching was experiential in nature. I guess there are books on any sport. Could someone provide a review? The Marauders Quote

+CYBret Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 I guess I should have ordered mine sooner...I ordered it in December and it's still listed on Amazon.com as being prepared for shipment. Ooh well..too busy this weekend to read anything anyway. Bret Quote

He's a doctor so sometimes he gets a little behind. El Diablo Quote

Sheesh, that's what triage is for! Just have him hang a "delayed" tag on each of his patients and get on to the important stuff... Just kidding of course, probably won't get a chance to print it out 'til Monday anyhow. Thx Quote
+Team DEMP Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 One of my Xmas presents just showed up. My sister-in-law ordered the Geocaching: Hike and Seek with Your GPS book and it came on Thurs so she brought it over today. I gave it a quick once over and it doesn't look bad and for those just getting into it, it could actually be helpful. The following are the chapters: 1 - Starting Off (A quick overview of the sport and its history) 2 - Cache On (Various web sites, cache types & TBs) 3 - The Technology (GPS, compasses and maps) 4 - Lost in Style (Map reading, using the GPSr, 5 - A Good Walk (Being appropriately dressed, food & water) 6 - On the Hunt (Loading the waypoints and finding the caches) 7 - In Hiding (Hiding a cache) 8 - Geovariations (Variations on the sport) Appendix A - Resources Appendix B - Outdoor Safety Going on vacation the end of the month and I'll bring it and read it. For only a few bucks, if you get a couple of things out of it, it would be worth it. I'm personally hoping to get a better understanding of reading maps. Quote
