This book covers not only the fundamental principles and points of geocaching, but also covers such related topics as wilderness navigation, hiking, and outdoor safety.

You don't need to be an expert in electronics, navigation, or even hiking to start. With this book, youll soon understand GPS technology, know how to find your way about, and be able to prepare for your next hike-and-seek adventure!, This title is a guide to the activity of geocaching, a treasure hunting game, using handheld global positioning system (GPS) receivers, that is now played worldwide.
