This project aims to promote geocaching at SDSU by creating an interactive map of geocaching sites within a 2-mile radius. The map will link to data about each site and will be accessible through Google Earth. The project also includes a link to the global geocaching site and the creation of a bonus geocache on campus. Join us in this outdoor treasure hunt adventure!
