Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site
I think a cool idea would be to integrate social networking (e.g. gowalla or stickybits with geocaching). For example, put note for a gowalla location. At the gowalla location, put note for the final cache coordinates. by Dec 13
DIY Geocoins
Shrinky dinks were one of my favorite childhood toys. Draw on a piece of plastic, put it in the oven and watch it shrink magically before your eyes. Shrinky dink paper can be found at almost all craft stores, but unknown to most is that you can easily make your own, much cheaper version, simply by recycling old plastic you probably have in your home. In order for the plastic to have the correct shrinking ability it has to be code #6.

Hiking
Salut. J'ai récemment essayé de télécharger les pistes d'un voyage au départ de mon gps Garmin à mon compte Google Maps, mais la carte ne montre pas des pistes. Je devine que c'est parce que Garmin Mapsource ne peut pas enregistrer des fichiers au format KML ou l'un des autres formats requis par Google Maps?
