Geocaching is an outdoor _treasure-hunting_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_hunt_(game)) game in which the
participants use a _Global Positioning
System_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Positioning_System) (GPS)
_receiver_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_receiver) or other navigational
techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches")
anywhere in
the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a
logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well
over 440,000 geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the
sport.
Geocaches are currently placed in 222 countries around the world and on all
seven continents, including Antarctica.
How do we get them to change the definition?

It now says that it is an outdoor orienteering game..... How's that?
