Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where people hide containers called caches and share their GPS coordinates online for others to find using GPS devices. Players use maps, compasses and GPS to locate caches hidden around the world in places off the beaten path. The hobby combines technology, outdoor adventure and exploration to discover new places while practicing navigation skills. Participants need a computer to find cache coordinates, a GPS receiver to locate them, and basic supplies to enjoy geocaching.
