Do you know about Geocaching? This is a new level of entertainment that asks the participants to find all kinds of hidden containers (or geocaches) using their GPS units or software. The Geocaching app is a full-function program that helps people to get outdoors and begin hunting! In order for Geocaching to be possible, the participant has to know if there are any containers in their area, and this is where the app saves the day.

It has records for more than eight hundred thousand geocaches around the world. It uses GPS, WiFi position and available cell towers to identify the location of the user and then lets them know the whereabouts of the geocaches in their region. It offers maps, hints and full navigation to get them to the treasure.

Once there the user of the Geocaching app can make notes, let other registered users know all about their experience and create a log item to document their successful find. The software can also tag those geocaches already found in order to identify them automatically in any future scans of the area.

There are several Geocaching applications and tools available elsewhere, but this one is among the most refined and offers all kinds of “real time” opportunities unavailable in any other app.

Currently, the app works only with iPhone and iPod Touch devices. The cost of the Geocaching app is $9.99, and it is available in a wide range of languages.

If you want to explore the exciting and challenging world of Geocaching you will want to give this app a try.
