Society FAQ

If you have a difficult issue/situation that you don't feel comfortable raising in the forums, then please contact someone from the committe. You can do this either via the Contact Us page on the website, or through a Personal Message to us on the forums.

We will happily receive issues in confidence, and if necessary raise them as coming from the committee or manage the issue as appropriate and you can maintain anonymity.

The society was initially formed in direct response to a desire by the Department of Conservation to form a relationship with geocachers in New Zealand to discuss geocaching on crown-managed land. Whilst it was not the only reason to form the society, it was the main one.

Recognising that the society should have a wider focus than just geocaching, the focus for the society was decided to be the recreational use of the Global Positioning System in New Zealand.

The society therefore has strong roots in geocaching in New Zealand, but is attracting many people with broader interests in the recreational use of the GPS in New Zealand.
