Geocaching is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by people of any age and physical ability. It is like a scavenger hunt that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to help players locate hidden containers (geocaches) all over the world. At a basic level, you will need only a GPS unit and the coordinates of a geocache. Most people, however, will want a bit more background information and equipment before heading out.
