Geocaching is an outdoor activity that uses your receiver to find hidden treasures (geocaches) that can be
placed anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small, waterproof container containing a logbook and
"treasure".
The Magellan eXplorist receiver is designed to connect with millions of passionate adventure seekers at www.
geocaching.com. Geocaching.com is the premier website for organizing the world's geocaches. Whether
you want to learn about geocaching, hide or seek a cache, log your experiences, or find out about a local
geocaching event, Geocaching.com is your one-stop shop for all things geocaching! No need to worry about
clumsy data conversion as the eXplorist receiver connects seamlessly with the website for popular features such
as Send to GPS, Upload Field Notes, and transfer Pocket Queries.
Your purchase of an eXplorist receiver comes with a 30 day free trial for a Geocaching.com premium
membership*. A premium membership will enable the download of more than 20 unique attributes for each
geocache, access to "members only" cache listings, Pocket Query generation, and a number of other advanced
features. A basic membership is all you need to go geocaching, but the features of the eXplorist receiver are
