 **Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure-hunting game using GPS-enabled devices**.
-Basically, your task is to find a geocache that was hidden by another player. The hiding place is accurately located and its GPS coordinates are put on **[[https://www.Geocaching.com|Geocaching.com]]**. The coordinates are acquired from there and put into a GPS device that guides you to the geocache location. There you have to rely also on your senses to find the geocache. That's how the "traditional" geocaches work. Then there are lots of other geocache types - multi-caches, mystery caches, Earth caches, etc.
