What's a geo mob?
It is not a flash mob, but. It's similar. A geomob requires a mob to gather around a spot before receiving the final coordinates for a cache. Everybody in the geomob will need a reasonably modern smart phone in order to participate.
The link for this Geo-Mob cache is: http://www.chilehead.us/mob/index.php
Mob id is: 1872
About this location:
The mob site I chose is the double-decked merry-go-round at the Freehold Raceway Mall. The active radius is large enough to register outside of the mall, but please pay attention to the no parking/no standing signs. Also, if you're tech savvy, you should be able to find some free WiFi that is available to the public.
The final location is a short drive away. Enjoy and have fun!
Before you head out:
Verify your phone is compatible before starting. Visit http://www.chilehead.us/mob/index.php and test your phone. To Find the cache:
- You and three of your geocaching friends will need to visit the posted coordinates
- Open http://www.chilehead.us/mob on your phone.
- Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 40 feet or so.)
- When prompted, enter the number 1872
- This will open a screen that will navigate you to the "mob" coords
- Once the website verifies you are at the location, the counter bumps up.
- When the counter reaches the required mob size, four in this case, coordinates for the cache are revealed
- Enter the coords into your GPS right away! If people leave the mob area, the page you are looking at may not show the coords anymore (it takes a minute.)
If the count is not updating or you're not getting closer to the mob center point, please make sure your GPS is on and that geolocation is enabled for the web browser your are using.
Remember, you will need four mobile devices connected to the Internet to obtain the coordinates.
Final note, once 4 devices are connected, the screen will change with details regarding the final location. The coordinate found under "destination" are not the location of the cache, but the center point of the mob zone
This cache is certified Central Jersey!
