The popularity of Personal GPS units has even resulted in a new "sport" called Geocaching. It's like a high-tech treasure hunt. Geocaching involves using a GPS unit (receiver) to find a "geocache" (or "cache") placed in a specific (and sometimes difficult) location, the co-ordinates of which are posted on particpating internet websites. A cache is typically a small, waterproof receptical containing a logbook and a "treasure". But don't get too excited about it - the "treasure" is usually not of any great value at all, but finders still get a thrill from getting to it first. Geocaching is spreading worldwide.
