Longitude is distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Longitude lines are vertical.
Latitude and LongitudeThe coordinates of the red dot on the map are 30
degrees north latitude and 90 degrees west longitude.
Step 1: Go OnlineBegin the quest online by registering on the geocaching Web site
and looking for a geocache location near you. Then find its coordinates
on the Web site. Coordinates are a set of numbers that identify a
location on a map or a graph. In geocaching, the coordinates are
the latitude and longitude for the location of the geocache.

A High-Tech Treasure Huntby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbsby Anthony Tibbs
You may know about treasure hunts that took place in the
past, but did you know that treasure hunts exist today?
Many people participate in geocaching, a high-tech treasure-
hunting game. Geo means “Earth” and cache means “hiding
place” or “something that is hidden,” so a geocache is a
treasure that is hidden outside. Geocachers use technology
to locate the treasure. Just follow the steps on these pages
and you can be a geocacher, too!
