What is a Wherigo Geocache?
Wherigo is a new way of utilizing GPS technology to play games, take tours, and yes geocache.
You can view the Wherigo FAQ for additional information or you can jump right into Wherigo.com to learn more about Wherigo GPS-enabled adventures, Play Anywhere cartridges, and the growing number of Wherigo geocaches.
Do I need special equipment?
Yes, you will need three items:
1. A Wherigo enabled device
2. The Rings of Power Wherigo Cartridge
3. A Pen
Wherigo enabled devices:
Garmin Colorado Garmin Nuvi 500
Garmin Oregon
iPhone with the Wherigo app
Android with the WhereYouGo app
Pocket PC with the Wherigo Player
Playing the Game
Once you have the Player ready to go, you will need to log in at Wherigo.com using your Geocaching.com account login to download the The Rings of Power.gws cartridge. You will run the cartridge from the device's Wherigo Player, not from the Geocaching application.
Garmin users should turn off tracking on their GPS receivers before starting. iPhone users should occasionally wave their iPhone in a horizontal "figure 8" to ensure compass calibration.
Is logging my find any different for this cache?
Logging your Wherigo find on Geocaching.com is no different than logging any other puzzle cache.
Logging your Wherigo find on Wherigo.com offers some additional options:
1. Write Log
2. Unlock the cartridge by Uploading your Save Game
3. Unlock the cartridge by Entering the Unlock Code
After completing the Wherigo cache and logging on Geocaching.com, feel free to post a log on Wherigo.com. Mentioning your Wherigo device / player in the log will help ensure compatibility.
