Hi all
the name is Terry and Ive recently found out about Geocaching
Im interested enough to take out a Basic membership. Im not investing in a GPS yet. Im going to take up the challange with my Iphone and a couple of GPS apps
Have looked up some local caches and when I have a few hours free Ill see if I can find them.
Now I know Im going to cop a heap of flack for using the iphone but its cost effective for me, but if anyone has any tips on using the iphone Im all ears.
Wish me luck !

Finding with an iPhone is fine, hiding with an iPhone, well ...
More than enough caches up your way to warrant a Premium Membership at geocaching.com

Of course, try a few without paying first and see if you enjoy it, or you become obsessed

Quite a few of us use an iPhone. Just be aware they usually have a large area of search and if you are using a non-telstra carrier you will lose service often and so the GPS doesn't update well (if at all). You do learn to develop your geo-sense quickly because the iPhone is not accurate enough to pinpoint a particular bush/tree etc.KnitnTel wrote:Hi all
