Find the Gecko Sweepstakes
The GEICO Gecko has teamed up with Groundspeak to give away 20 Magellan eXplorist GC GPS units and release 6,000 trackable Geckos into the wild. It’s free and easy to participate in any (or all!) of the following ways:
1. Enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to win one of 20 Magellan eXplorist GC GPS units, valued at $150! This is one of the top-selling GPS devices among geocachers.
2. Help the trackable Geckos meet their goals by moving them from cache to cache. 6,000 Geckos will be released to spread the word about the Sweepstakes. Note: You don’t need to actually find one to enter the Sweepstakes!
3. Request a Free trackable Gecko and we’ll mail you a brand new, un-activated one (while supplies last) as long as you agree to place it in a geocache and help it get started on a geocaching journey.
Check the promotional website for official rules.
