+Imajika Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 (edited) I saw this link on another web site. Look at the gallery. I think some of these people should be out looking for caches. http://www.gpsdrawing.com/info.htm Actually, some of the drawings are pretty cool. I don't think I would have the patience to do something like this though. No, I have nothing to do with the site at all. I just thought it was neat.

umc Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I always thought it would be a fun event game to plot out a picture then have people follow the points and upload the pictures and compare them. Interesting site. Quote Link to comment
+nittany dave Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 There is a cache here in Raleigh, Milo's Garden, that made use of this technique. You had to walk a course defined on the cache page that ended up drawing numbers to use in the final coordinates to the cache. It was fun to see the number appear on my screen as it drew my track. It also forced me to walk into areas that I may have missed if I had just been making a beeline for the cache. Quote Link to comment
+Imajika Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 Now that is a brilliant idea! I never thought of using this as part of a multi! I still don't know if I'd have the patience to set up a cache like that though. Maybe I will try it some day! Quote Link to comment
+Milbank Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I think it's the same people that make the crop circles. Quote Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I think Criminal has a multi that he doesn't give the waypoints to each stage but gives a map of his track log which I guess is a picture of the track and the finders have to recreat the track log in order to find each stage. I don't have the link handy and correct me if I'm wrong Criminal. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I have just closed a duplicate topic started after this one, over in The Hunt/The Unusual Forum. There are some good posts over there, including a link to another cache that uses GPS drawings, plus an uploaded GPS drawing created by a geocacher. Quote Link to comment
+bartacus Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 After my first attempt at GPS Drawing, I really wanted to try something else. Unfortunately, the only result I have to offer is a piece of art that I have lovingly entitled "Mowing the Lawn". Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 (edited) Here is My contribution to gpsdrawing.com: Detroit Drawing This Running with GPS covers an area of Detroit Michigan of 2 miles by 1.5 miles. This was started Aug 2001, but mostly traced out by GPS V from May 2003 to Aug 2003. In a few days, it will be 2 miles by 4 miles of Detroit done. EDIT: Started Aug 2001 not 2003 Edited June 27, 2004 by GOT GPS? Quote Link to comment

+Seamus Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Okay, admittedly it isn't anything close to the same scale as the others here, but you have to start somewhere, right? I have at various times toyed with the idea of using a GPSr's "bread crumb trail" as an element of a cache puzzle, and came pretty close to doing it too, but have not as yet placed such a cache. Maybe later... Quote Link to comment
