CZ - what does it mean??

Post by Gypsy on the Road » 11 April 13 11:30 am

Very NEW to the world of Geocaching....first time out yesterday and found the letters CZ mentioned a couple of times. Have since searched the Net looking for an answer but no luck.

Can someone please tell me what it means??

TIA

Cheers Gypsy

CZ is likely GZ.
GZ = Ground Zero. i.e. Where the cache is supposed to be located.

Could it have been GZ?

GZ = Ground Zero. The point at which the cache is located.
