Geocache with GPS on your Samsung WM Device

Since its first recorded placement back in May 3 of 2000, almost 9 years ago, Geocache has seen a growth in popularity with the reduce cost and increase distribution of a GPS navigation equipment. And with all of the Samsung Windows Mobile being GPS-enabled, you may too join the outdoor fun!

So what is Geocache?

Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache’s existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS unit can then try to locate the geocache.

Sounds simple, no?

It is deceptively easy. It is one thing to know where a location is shown on a map; it is another to actually try to arrive at that location. Sometimes you cannot navigate directly to a cache by going straight in the direction your GPS receiver points – there might be a river or other obstacle in the way. It is up to you to find the best route to the cache, remembering to respect the environment and practice Cache In Trash Out along the way.

Geocache has a well-established worldwide community. Simply enter your zip code to find the closest cache, or plant one and have someone seek it out! So if you’re into hiking or adventure, and has a Samsung Windows Mobile device backed with a unlimited data plan, Geocache may be the second best use of the GPS in your device!
