Well.... having read all the discussion so far on the proposal for 'Geostash'.... I now ALSO prefer the name over all others. Certainly versatile, Dave. It's growing on me too !!! I'm seriously considering changing the name on my site to Geostash (just as soon as I get a free moment at home, away from the office !)
Dave, email me direct with your thougts on this

I'm not sure geostash is any better but it seems more versatile to me. Their could be more than one game that involves geolocating with electronic tools. I'd love to figure out some different uses for these devices. > > PLEASE, help me, is there another word you could come up with that describes the act of locating something by coordinates? > > With SA off, this is the first time in the history of the human race that an average person can locate something on the planets surface with nothing more than numerical coordinates and a handheld device. I'm sure people would say that you could use a USGS topo map to find a spot by coordinates, but just you try it sometime. With SA off, we have a major event in human evolution!

Geostashing could do the same, but it needs the slick packaging that orienteering has to make it successful. I would like to see millions of stashes around the world, to get there we are going to need Slick Packaging !!
