Learning geocaching

For someone starting out geocaching this is a must have. It gives the rules and teachs you the lingo. A must have!

Great Guide

This is a great guide. It is written by the people who started geocaching. This is a great "sport" and easily explained in this book. Great fun for kids and families too.

Good start guide to the world of Geocaching

We bought this item for a family member who loves the outdoors and has not experienced geocaching. I thumbed through the book and found it to be just what we were hoping it would be, a good beginners guide. He and his family have started geocaching and found the book helpful. I recommend this book and geocaching to everyone.

Very helpful and informative

We are just getting started geocaching and this book was very helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend this book for a newcomer to geocaching.

Great book about geocaching

Tells everything you need to know about geocaching. The "Complete Idiot's Guide" series is usually very well written, and this title is no exception. Written by the editors and staff of [...], the people who started the whole geocaching craze in the first place--who better to write a book about the subject? Well, ok, if they couldn't write, then they might not do a great job, but I think that the book is very well written and organized. It probably contains more information then you want; I skipped over some of the map stuff, but I know where to look if I ever need to find an exact GPS coordinate on a paper map. The chapter "Choosing a GPS for Geocaching" actually did help me decide which GPS to buy, the chapter "Geocaching Tips and Tricks" gives good advice from people who know what they are talking about, and the "Resource Directory" points you to lots of websites that cover every aspect of the game. Very comprehensive, you won't be dissapointed.
