How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

There is no direct access to the cache… you could take a tour around the world to find the coordinates. The trip would take you to all continents.
 
For all those who do not have the time or the money for this tour, there is a shortcut…
If you find about something about the tour, you can calculate the final coordinates and go there directly.

Important advise for travellers: Due to construction works at Ground Zero, the cache has moved. The travel route and the formulas remain the same, the difference is mentioned below.
 
The tour plan:
 
PR-QF-LA-AM-DL-FI-KL-LH-SA-EK-AI-TG-CX
 
Where do you land?
Take the codes and transfer them to figures, using A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.
 
To get the coordinates, you have to calculate.
 
The format is: N = A°B’C’’
                      E = D°E’F’’
 
Important advise for travellers: Due to construction works at Ground Zero, the cache has moved. The travel route and the formulas remain the same, the difference to the new coordinates is mentioned below.
Put the codes for the landings in the the formulas:
 
A: 13-7
B: 6+7-8
C: 4*2-7 deduct 51
D: 12+7+5+1
E: 8-11 add 1
F: 10*9+3 deduct 740
 
Have a nice trip, and see you at Ground Zero!
To make sure you didn't get lost, you can test your solution: Update 13.9.2015: cache container moved to different location due to construction works. Will monitor the situation and check if it can move back after completion.
