At the end of the day the Wherigo cartridge will lead you
to a geocache (or several). It can do this in two ways
The
final location will appear in your list of locations (1) A set of co ordinates
of the actual cache may also appear in your Inventory. Click on it to get the
co ordinates (and possibly hints and spoiler
pictures too) Here we
have a failing of the Wherigo apps. There is no way to input GPS
co-ordinates, so having got these co-ordinates, manually copy them either
into your GPS unit or into whichever app you use for geocaching. The best
way to do this us to call up the Wherigo’s cache
page and create a waypoint using these final co-ordinates. See
your geocaching app’s instructions for how to do that (however it is done,
it is easy!!) |

Purists
don’t like that way of doing it though. Some wherigos just locate the final geocache only with a
location which you navigate to in the same way as you navigate to any location. Personally I don’t like this as
for it to work the final location has to be very small, and consequently
incredibly difficult to get inside to trigger any more game events. But however you get there, the cache is a geocache like any
other. Sign the paper log and then log your find on geocaching dot come
either through your geocaching app or geocaching dot com. Some Wherigos have game play which continues after finding the
cache. Some take you to more than one cache. Bear this in mind… |
