Geocache Description:

Learn how to use GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)

Interactive workshop with Professor Freddo

Tuesday 2nd April from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Venue: McLaren Room at the Box Factory Community Centre, 59 Regent St South, Adelaide SA 5000

GSAK is the all in one Geocaching and waypoint management tool.
Major features include: Multiple databases, sending/receiving waypoints to GPSr, Google maps, Geocaching.com live api, online logging, conversion to many mapping formats, HTML output, extensive searching, macro support, backup and restore, distance/direction from other waypoints (including caches, locations, post codes) and much more.
GSAK only runs on Windows operating systems (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, with XP and below not supported).

To take full advantage of Professor Freddo and his teachings of GSAK, come along with your laptop (with full battery) with GSAK installed.

Audience: This session meant for newbies, technophobes and people who have never used GSAK. It is a very basic session. Depending on who turns up and what the group looks like we will try and match learners with more adept users.
Note: A GSAK intermediate workshop will be more intense, and it is hoped that that session will run in May.

Creation Celebration Host Badge

Celebrate geocaching creativity and diversity around the world! Join Cache Carnival starting March 25, 2019, and earn up to five souvenirs* inspired by historic carnival locations by collecting points on your Leaderboard (previously the Friend League) before the carnival ends on April 14, 2019.

Cache Carnival celebrates geocache creativity—collect extra points for finding highly favourited [sp.] geocaches or earning a Favourite point** on a cache you own! But that’s not all! Geocaching would not exist without the people who channel their creativity and innovative spirit into making great experiences for others. So we’re welcoming all geocache owners (and folks who want to celebrate their favourite [sp.] cache owners) to host events celebrating geocache creation to inspire the next generation of geocache makers. We’re calling these events Creation Celebrations. Anyone who logs an “Attended” at a registered Creation Celebration event will earn a sixth souvenir!

*Souvenirs are virtual pieces of art that can be earned and displayed on your profile.
**Geocaching Favourite points are a simple way to track and share the geocaches that you enjoyed the most. Premium members can award Favourite points for geocaches they love.
