What Does Geocaching Mean?
Geocaching is a real world outdoor game that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and mixes elements, including letterboxing, benchmarking and treasure hunting. Players, known as geocachers, search for hidden containers known as geocaches, or caches, which are placed in various locations by organizers or other players.
Techopedia Explains Geocaching
On May 3, 2000, the first geocache was placed just a day after the SA removal. The partially buried box contained books, food, money and a slingshot, among other items. At that time, the game was known as GPS Stash Hunt and “gpsstashing.” After it was suggested that the word “stash” has negative connotations, the game became known as geocaching.
