A GPS or (Global Positioning System) provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on the Earth. A signal is sent to the GPS through four or more satellites that orbit the Earth. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. GPS systems can be used in many ways. GPS units are made for navigation for driving and for the outdoors. GPS units are also popular for certain outdoors games like a typical scavenger hunt or a geocache. Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS devices and then share their experiences online. Finding the geocache can be easy or difficult according to location. More difficult geocaches are labeled with their difficulties going from easy through extreme. As you go higher in difficulty, the harder and more challenging the geocache is. Some geocache go so far that the hunters requires special equipment to reach them. You can locate more information on geocaching on the following hyperlinks.
