[Rigger64]

Have we ever had an GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit/Event in Australia??
Or are they only for overseas??
What are the chances of us ever having a GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit/Event in Australia.

I just thought it would be an interesting consept to have a crack @ As we have only had one Mega Event & there is a second one comming soon Why not look into the maze aspect as well.
If you have the link lets see what it would entail to do a GPS adventure Maze in Australia.

The link on that page is http://www.gpsmaze.com/location_request.html

I don't really understand what the GPS maze even is....

From what I understand, it wouldn't be a case of doing a GPS adventure Maze in Australia, but bringing it here. I don't think its something you can organise/put on yourself.

I don't know exactly what it entails either, maybe that's part of the fun of doing it?
It would be good to get it to come to Australia but I doubt they will anytime soon.

No, we haven't.
They are more of an exhibition held inside a large facility. For example , you would need in Australia , an area at Darling Harbour in Sydney or the Exhibition Centre (Jeffs Shed ) , Melbourne.
Virtually lots of stands showing off GPS technology , navigation and a bit of tourism of the world. It sounds like there is a bit of "hands on " set ups, involved , similar to areas of Questacon, in Canberra if you been inside there.
I think you would find that Canada and the USA have such huge populations combined, that it could probaly only work at those sort of locations.

The great advantage the USA has is that when people retire ,they need an activity to continue with, so Geocaching is a popular outcome. In Australia, when a percentage retire ,many take up bowls. In the USA, they dont have bowls.

So, i think the chances of coming to Australia is remote. But, fill in the form and see what happens. Maybe its a Groundspeak funded style event.

i often thought that scienceworks in Melbourne could work for the exhibit. seems to fit with the types of museums that its been in over in the states.

Well you learn something new every day...
They must have had really bored old people 10 years ago...

Yeah i have filled out the form if you can call a request form.
Lets see what comes out of it, But then again i might see what else i can find out & see what needs to be done to get it here.

I did the maze a few months back and it was cool.
It would cost thousands to have it sent to Australia,

It would be great if we could get it to come to Aus.
Maybe if we try to get companys like Garmin, Magellan, & maybe some torist mob on board.
It might help to get it here.

Not too sure if Garmin would be terribly interested in helping to fund a GS exhibition
