The Bad Cop and DarrylW4 are back for the fifty-ninth edition of the GeoGearHeads and the tenth Randomize show. We kicked off this show with a voicemail from Superted about last week's show and his attempt at his first UV cache -- "Spot to Spot!!!" (GC45BCA). We also heard from previous guest jeepin_idaho about an article of an interesting application of QR codes. Next was more discussion about the "GeoGearHeads 2013 Traveler Race" which starts on March first. Info and instructions are now posted so get your travelers entered early so they can get out early and earn more point! Xpunkx, host of the "Geocaching Podcast," talked about the new Garmin GGZ format. We also read the comment from Robert Lipe, previously on "GGH Beta.30: GPSBabel," on the GPSTracklog article. |

Welcome to the GeoGearHeads 2013 Traveler Race! We've partnered with TB-Run.com to power the first GeoGearHeads sponsored race. The goal of these travelers is to meet as many Geocachers as possible along their travels while sharing Geocaching tips and tricks between March 1, 2013 and September 1, 2013. Each traveler earns a point for each unique cacher who submits a log to it. Since this is intended to be fun for everyone (as well as sharing some Geocaching knowledge) you are encouraged to submit multiple travelers, each with its own tip or trick. We hope you're able to participate by either moving a trackable item or releasing one yourself. Perhaps you'll be fortunate enough to do both! Here's how to enter the race;
If you have a prize which requires other arrangements (e.g. electronic delivery) please contact us at GeoGearHeads@CacheAManiacs.com. The prizes donated to the race will be distributed to the leading traveler owners based on the score for top travelers as determined by TB-Run.com. Each traveler owner is eligible for one prize regardless of the number of travelers entered. Our current Prize Pool includes:

For more about UV and IR caching check the "Ultra Violet and Infrared Night Caches" on their blog.

For the fifty-seventh edition of the GeoGearHeads our hosts (The Bad Cop and DarrylW4) talked about using technology to support Geocaching events. For loading GPSRs during events they spoke about "" (check our show Beta.30) and "GSAK." We also talked about getting the information to smartphones including use of services like "DropBox" (check our show Beta.50). DarrylW4 generally recommends attendees use "Geo Bucket" or "Looking4Cache Free" for iOS (though he prefers "Geocaching with Geosphere") and "CacheSense Demo" or "Neongeo - Demo" (check our show 56). |
