Geocaching, a modern day treasure hunt complete with GPS device, can be a fun activity. Seek out containers and other goodies left for you to find. Maybe place your own geocache for others to find.
Garmin just made it easier to take part in geocaching. It’s now offering an OpenCaching app for iPhone and Android devices. The app is an extension of Garmin’s geocaching web site OpenCaching, which went live in December. The app is currently free, though that could change.While OpenCaching.com is great for locating caches in your area or a location you plan to visit, it leaves you tethered to the computer. The OpenCaching app lets you access the graphical database while you’re actually searching for the geocache.
“Garmin’s free OpenCaching app is yet another exciting way to grow the geocaching community and give cachers the information they need when they’re on the go,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “This mobile option lets cachers find the newest and nearest geocaches wherever they may be, and just as with OpenCaching.com, we look forward to the app’s continuous evolution as we implement feedback and suggestions from cachers themselves.
