Geocaching is a real world, high tech treasure hunting game. Players use handheld devices with GPS to find ‘caches’ hidden by other players. It is a great way to take technology to the outdoors, get fit, and have fun!
Find out about the hunt.

We maintain the largest online geocaching and GPS community in New Zealand, with active forums with over 44,000 posts since they were started in January, 2003.
Take me to the forums.

Are you looking at running an event for recreational navigation or geocaching? The Society has a pool of GPS units that we make available for promoting GPS use.

The New Zealand Recreational GPS Society Inc. was formed in 2003 by a group of geocachers. As well as promoting GPS and recreational GPS activities, the Society also consults and works with government agencies, including the availability of mapping data for recreational usage.

Want to help out? We are always looking for volunteers to lead and support our activities - whether running events or training courses, providing assistance in the forum. Additionally, there are other related communities that we would encourage you to support, including the New Zealand Open GPS Maps project, and OpenStreetMap.

• supporting our programme providing GPS units for schools, training and holiday courses
• helping build an active and supportive online and real-world community for GPS usage, mapping and other related disciplines
