SMART Boards for Education Interactive Whiteboards for the Classroom. A Beginner's Guide and Tutorial to Geocaching A High-Tech Treasure Hunt. In Mid. '03 few people had heard of geocaching -- it was almost a secret game. It's grown a lot since then. I stumbled onto the game about a year later and have been playing since.

They send signals that these receivers use to figure out where on the surface of the earth they are.
