The original tag went MIA back on 20/Nov/2012 after only traveling 97km. My daughter Kelsey was so sadden by this loss when we found some spiecal people from "Free Replacement Tags For Missing Trackables By Exman " who replace lost travel bugs and bring them back to life.

BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGNAL TAG

THE ORIGINAL TAG CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICS SECTION

This Travel Bug is getting dropped off in New Zealand by our GeoKid2 Kelsey Katt (7yrs). She is going on a holiday with nanny & poppy (lucky her). She wanted to do a cache to drop off her TB there and see if it would come home. So we talked about compasses, how they worked before gps and said maybe the travel bug needed one to find its way around and maybe home. Below is some information we read about compasses that was interesting, Hope you enjoy :) & Thank you


A compass is a navigational instrument that measures directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth. The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions (or points) – north, south, east, and west. Intermediate directions are also defined. Usually, a diagram called a compass rose, which shows the directions (with their names usually abbreviated to initials), is marked on the compass. When the compass is in use, the rose is aligned with the real directions in the frame of reference, so, for example, the "N" mark on the rose really points to the north. Frequently, in addition to the rose or sometimes instead of it, angle markings in degrees are shown on the compass. North corresponds to zero degrees, and the angles increase clockwise, so east is 90 degrees, south is 180, and west is 270. These numbers allow the compass to show azimuths or bearings, which are commonly stated in this notation.

There are two widely used and radically different types of compass. The magnetic compass contains a magnet that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and aligns itself to point to the magnetic poles. The gyrocompass (sometimes spelled with a hyphen, or as one word) contains a rapidly spinning wheel whose rotation interacts dynamically with the rotation of the earth so as to make the wheel precess, losing energy to friction until its axis of rotation is parallel with the earth's.
