Nous comptons sur le GPS (Global Positioning System) plus que nous ne le pensons, il a transformé notre mode de vie et le monde qui nous entoure. Nos vies seraient très différentes si nous n’avions pas la technologie GPS que nous connaissons et utilisons quotidiennement ; il va sans dire que le géocaching entre dans cette catégorie.
