In 2006 I became interested in the use of GPS equipment and mapping software. I have Tom Tom Navigator 5 Route Buddy on my iPhone. I use the Vauxhall GPS system in the car when I am out driving. For walking and general outdoor use I have a Garmin GPSMAP 60CS. This is a very useful device and is ideal for helping find your way from A to B and to help me when I go geocaching. I also have the Apple iPhone and several very good GPS based applications for that. I also have a SatMap Active10 with full UK mappings
"Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache." - www.geocaching.com
