Break
16:30 - 17:30 - Time for further questions, socialising, catching up with friends and swapping & discovering trackables.
If time allows we can look at the programming behind the cartridge.
It will help things to run a lot more smoothly on the day if you can come equipped with the correct player app installed on your phone. Then we can concentrate on solving any problems before we go out for a practical session.
You can download the player for your device here:
iPhone / iPad
Android
We will play 2 cartridges on the day:
Wherigo Player Tutorial is a play-anywhere cartridge designed as an introduction to the basics of Wherigo.
ET Phone Home is a new wherigo which has not yet been published as a geocache. You are welcome to play the cartridge before the event, but you will only be able to log it as a cache if you sign the logsheet on the day or after publication.
It will help a lot if you can download these cartridges in preparation for the event. If you run into problems don't worry, we will sort it out on the day.
What to bring:
- Your smartphone – please make sure the batteries are charged!
- If you are using a compatible Garmin device please bring the interface cable.
- Snacks to share during the breaks.
Thanks to Bruce for agreeing to host the event and for sharing his facilities with us.
