+Fenix6372 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Just curious to see if anyone has found one of the Coke GPS cans, I know I would love to find one, even if the only prize was keeping the GPS can! Seems like a cool item to get a hold of and was wondering if any cacher was lucky enough to get his/her hands on one. Quote Link to comment
bodolad Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I'm not familiar with a Coke GPS can. Is this an item Coke puts out? Or a sig item by a cacher? Is there a web page? (sorry for all the ?'s) Quote Link to comment

+Tahoe Skier5000 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 what the.... That would be the ultimate stealth GPS unit. Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Too bad it's not really a GPS receiver. And, depending on who you talk to at Coke HQ, there's not even a can with a GPS transponder, just a special can with an 800 number to call. No GPS technology involved at all. You call them, give them your address, they send you the prize. Quote Link to comment

+TeamK-9 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 From what I hear, they're actually cellphones... Quote Link to comment
+TheHawksNest Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 My wife is a General Manager for TA Truckstops. One of the managers at a location in indiana won an SUV via the coke can cell phone. A deliveryman delivered a voucher for the vehicle, and all he had to do was go pick it up. Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 From what I hear, they're actually cellphones... Yeah, that was the part I left out of my post. I had called Coke HQ to ask about it, two people said there were no GPSr's, just phone numbers to call if you found a "specially marked can", the other person said it was actually a transponder like a cell-phone, that when activated, connected you to the prize center. Either way, I'd like to win. The first thing I'd do is trade it for a real SUV: a 2005 Jeep Rubicon!!! Quote Link to comment

I actually think it may be a little bit of both, with "specially marked cans" and cans that have the cell phone built in... Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I know a lady in Colorado Springs that found one and asked her if I could have it, then I read cokes rules and they have to return them. Bummer!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
thorin Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I wonder if they hunt you down if you don't return it? Thorin Quote Link to comment
