GeoSnippits Geocache Navigator Tutorial Part One

[catepillar55]

I am thinking about asking for a handheld GPS for my birthday... I am actually a young teen who has become obsessed with caching over the last month or so... What kind of GPS would you recommend for me... I do not want to spend a lot... but I do not want a junkie one.... Please contact me here or on Geocaching... my username is njabben

Lol I hate those plants got poke in the face quite a few times hiding a geocache only to have it disabled because i was about 10 feet under the limit for geocaches -___-

[headhardhat]

@GeoCrazePodcast Ouchie, I hate when that happens. Part of the game.

A couple of months ago, I was sitting, being bored. I knew that my phone had GPS technolgy. I suspected that the Police , the taxi office ,and the pizza deliver guy could find my phone.

So I thought,''How might I exploit GPS? Is it possible for me to find an app, perhaps.

I google searched

'gps personal navigation'. Result

'GeocachNavigator'...AWSOME!

It was more than I was searching for.

My phone is Sprint Instinct.

@tomwmloppe Welcome to the obsession ;) Just remember that smart phones are not as durable outside as GPS units so keep them safe from dropping and out of humid and water terrains.

Thanks for you efforts in putting together your series on Geocaching. I've been doing it for 5 years and just now thought of looking it up on YouTube. Great stuff

[headhardhat]

@Dolfn55 Welcome and thank you.. GeoSnippits is the number one Geocaching Tutorial series on You Tube and we are having a ball making it! Thanks for watching.

I found a container on a trail in a log near my house by complete accident, read the info inside, and joined in. Pretty sick idea.

[headhardhat]

@BishopRealTalk98 Welcome to the obsession. There is so many different ways to do geocaching and to find different types of geocaches. Have fun with it and enjoy the outside.

Well I am not familiar with living with 18 feet but I lived my whole life in Michigan and the UP and west part of the state gets close to that. Nope, the happiest day for me was giving my father-in-law my snowblower before moving to NC.

no snow in january ? -- WOW !!! -- is that the equator ???------here in this part of britishcolumbia weve got 18 feet of snow in january !!!

the iphone app os so much better

[headhardhat]

I have seen the Iphone app and it does have some cool bells and whistles. I want to do a side by side comparison one day just to see who is king.. Why do you like the Iphone so much better and how much testing have you done with both? I would appreciate your viewpoints. -HHH

[headhardhat]

Yeah the scenery does seem to change a lot even from a few months back. The people that own the place know it's there. Thanks for watching... -HHH

Crazy, we cached these same caches this past weekend. The first one was not there and the wagon wheel was missing from the right side of the drive. interesting viedos.

[hakz07]

will be great once it works on a nokia 5800...

At the moment on the phone, the cache details don't work.

[MrMugglemoss]

many thanks for the video!

[billstmaxx]

i couldn't imagine what that costs to use the phone for all that stuff wow

[headhardhat]

I'm sure that it varies from one provider to the next. The key is the unlimited internet access which runs me an additional $30.00 a month. With all the other internet related things I do, it is worth every penny.

[headhardhat]

That unfortunately is a blank check question.. Want a blank check answer? Which ever phone service tyhat works best in your area. There are so many out there and a lot will depend on the phone you chose and the geocaching apps that will work on them. Do your research before jumping into a new phone. - HHH

thanks so much for the video... I have been thinking of going paperless like this, what phone services are a must?
