GPS’s aren’t just about getting you to work or your travel destination. You can have a lot of fun with them too. If you have a group of friends and a little time to set things up there’s a few fun games you can play.
High Tech Hide and Seek/Catch
If you and a bunch of friends all have iPhones a high tech cross between Catch and Hide and Seek may be in order. Just make sure you have some rules in place about the boundaries of your game. An iPhone is capable of showing your all your friends’ locations so you should be able to figure out how to set it up quite easily. I’d think that the more densely populated are the better (downtown core).
Treasure Hunt
Set up a treasure hunt for the kids to help them learn how to use a GPS efficiently. This game is probably best played on a camping trip or somewhere where there’s a lot of space. Plant a few items and mark their locations on the GPS with a waypoint and let them go off and running. To make it just a bit more challenging and educational you can also not mark the waypoint on the GPS and just write it down on a piece of paper - coordinate data types to make it really interesting!
GeoCaching
Of course there’s ready-made GeoCaching - a game you can play with the whole world. Yuo can find the original Geocaching web site at GeoCaching.com
Use your imagination - there’s a lot of potentially good times to be had with a GPS and some people you like.
