Geocaching Overview
Geocaching is a fun outdoor activity that uses a GPS device for treasure hunting.
Geocaching is enjoyed by all kinds of people—from families with small children to active
outdoor adventurers. To search for a geocache, you use a GPS device to follow clues to
caches hidden by other geocachers. On your device and in DeLorme Topo North America, a
geocache is a type of waypoint.
DeLorme Topo North America has several features to help you get your caches on your
