Online, September 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - GeoCheckpointing, new outdoor game for GPS users, was launched in beta version this week. The goal of this game is to find control points called GeoCheckpoints which are placed near some interesting places.
First GeoCheckpoints were placed in Denmark (Copenhagen, Koge), Sweden (Malmö), Germany, Austria (Vienna), Slovakia (Bratislava) and Czech Republic (Frydek-Mistek and Prague). There are about 50 GeoCheckpoints near big cities at this time so over 5,000,000 people in the Central Europe and Nordic countries can start to seek for them near their homes right now.
There are two ways how the users can find GeoCheckpoints -- using a GPS unit or a map. After registering at GeoCheckpointing.com can the users obtain GPS coordinates of the GeoCheckpoints or display them on the map. They seek for the GeoCheckpoints using this information. Every GeoCheckpoint contains a 3-letter code. Users note this code and use it at GeoCheckpointing.com to log their visit in the control panel.
Every user can also place a GeoCheckpoint for others. It is possible to generate it in the members control panel. Generated GeoCheckpoints can be printed and made waterproof using a plastic bag. Then the user places it near some interesting place and locates the GPS coordinates using a GPS receiver. Then submits the GeoCheckpoint details in the control panel and after the admin approval is the GeoCheckpoint available to other seekers.
GeoCheckpointing can be done any time and anywhere in the world. Everything what people need to start with this new outdoor activity is a computer with the internet connection and optionally GPS unit (a map can be used instead of the GPS unit).
