Product Description

Product Description

The Geocaching Handbook is a complete introduction to the fast-growing sport of geocaching. It includes a history of geocaching; instructions on creating a cache, hiding it, and sharing it with others; geocaching etiquette and conventions; basic land navigation techniques including using a GPS unit; basic backcountry safety and etiquette; where to look and where to hide; types of treasures; and everything aspiring geocachers need to get started in this fascinating, family-friendly, high-tech outdoor-oriented pastime. On May 1, 2000, the White House announced that it would "stop the intentional degradation of the GPS signal available to the public beginning at midnight tonight. This will mean that civilian users of GPS will be able to pinpoint locations up to 10 times more accurately than they do now." As history was being made, self-professed techno-geeks like Dave Ulmer, an electronic and software engineer from Portland, Oregon, followed the announcements. After brainstorming new ideas for this budding technology, Ulmer came up with the idea of a treasure hunt. On May 3, just two days later, Ulmer placed a five-gallon bucket near a wooded road about one mile from his home at (N 4

1.0 out of 5 stars The Geocaching Handbook, 26 Mar 2009
By P. R. Wood "Wrose Woody" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unfortunately I did not do enough research before purchasing this publication. Had I done so I would have realised that it has a 2004 publication date and was therefore probably written in 2003. As a newbie to this game I was hoping to glean current information to help me progress in my new past time. In the five or six years since the book was written I think both GPS equipment/technology has moved rapidly and the original game has changed beyond all recognition from geocaching at the time this book was written. So for me, whilst the book is obviously well written, it is not really of much use in 2009.
