A Game of Direction

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing. Read about a GPS game for kids.

GPS isn’t just for those 16 and up anymore, it’s been awhile since GPS was only used for driving directions.

Now there’s a GPS specifically designed for the young (and the young at heart I guess too). Geomate Jr. is a GPS at its most basic, it gives directions on where to go. It’s not about getting kids to school or to a friend’s house it’s a game in and of itself. The Geomate Jr. is like a tech hand held treasure hunt.

The GPS comes uploaded with the location of thousands of caches (or locations with small trinkets of log books) for you to find. Take a treat, sign a logbook, it’s all in good fun, and you don’t have to download your own information. I suggest keeping a close eye on kids, wandering off along with the Geomate it probably not the best idea, I don’t think there are backtracking directions.
