Outdoor With Children
There’s a nice article in “Maine Today” entitled Geocaching: A high-tech treasure hunt for kids of all ages
Geocaching is a great activity for kids because it offers a chance to enjoy a local hiking trail, get some exercise, learn practical map skills — and have fun with the family. And the stories my children have shared about our adventures finding hidden treasures have been priceless.
The author also talks about her difficulty in finding a suitible GPSr unit.
I settled on a $170 Garmin eTrex with additional memory and a USB connection to download area maps (sold separately). […] As it turns out, the $100 unit, without the map storage memory, would have worked for us.
