Description

According to Geocaching Australia's definition....

A Beacon Geocache is a Multi-cache that uses technological means to determine one or many subsequent waypoints; This cache type may require specialised hardware and/or software to complete, so be sure to read the cache's listing page before seeking.

Examples of technology that could be used include:

  • SPOT active GPS trackers (see [1]). GCA has done some testing on these and can facilitate auto-updating of your cache should you decide to use one of these devices. Contact the admins for more information. Make sure you are using up-to-date information when seeking one of these caches!
  • Garmin Chirp Beacons: (see [2]) : These devices allow you to act as a stage in a multi-cache and send the next co-ords to the finders GPS Unit. NOTE: These currently only work with a subset of Garmin Devices with specific hardware and firmware configurations, thus potentially limiting the potential finders.

You are not restricted in what technologies you use for this cache type, its limits are only your imagination (and possibly your finances)

This is my first attempt at a beacon, and until we get more players, I am going to use a "cheap" way to list it.

You will need a device that can detect wifi networks. Most smart phones and tablets can do this so you should be good to go.

On arrival at GZ, you will need to turn on your wifi and "look for" possible wifi networks. There will be a number available depending on the time of day but you are looking for a certain one.

There will be three networks with the same first three letters (lets call those letters @&$)

So you should see these three networks

@&$, @&$Public, @&$Staff

You will need to convert @&$ to a three digit number using the usual method (A=1, B=2 etc and reduce to a single digit. So P=17=8)

Once you have converted the three letters, to three digits,  you will find the prize at

S32 19.505+@&$

E115 48.422+@&$

Today we visited Secret Harbour and afterwards collected the information for happy that the final this cache. Although there wasn't a coordinate checker we were happy that the final coordinates matched the hint. Sadly we were unable to locate the container. We searched for over 30 minutes so sadly a DNF for us.

What a great idea for a cache! I was able to get the digits worked out and made my way to GZ. After a read of the hint I soon had the container in hand. Nice work here Kyzabra. TFTC, my very first Beacon icon.
*Overall Experience: 5*

One of the last stops for the family before heading to our homes. Had no trouble working out the required information and it was a quick find of the cache once we walked to GZ from where we had parked next to a very big mobile home.

Thanks Kyzabra for the cache.

my first GCA cache and first beacon cache. great idea. found the coordinates easy enough, but couldn't figure out how to change them/add waypoint on GA Cacher App. so had to use my regular geo app

well this is my first beacon cache find combined with FTF so feeling very happy. it was a quick solve then as i started walking towards gz the hint had me intrigued knowing the direction i was walking. but as i got closer it all became obvious. the cache was the first thing i saw when at gz and after brushing 3 spiders of my arm after retrieving the cache i put my monogram in the lig book. thanks for the cache Kyzabra.
