Their intention is to hide the GPS coordinates for the new caches among the hundreds of eggs in the park. Their hope is that the egg hunt will serve to jump-start the geocaching season which traditionally begins later in the year.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>While some people fear that GPS tracking takes the fun out of the hunt, nothing could be further from the truth. In many ways, it raises the difficulty. The GPS tracking device only brings egg hunters within so many feet of the target. Discover Magazine indicates that can be <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/discoblog\/2010\/03\/24\/for-a-high-tech-easter-egg-hunt-let-gps-be-your-guide\/#.VtScapwrLIV\">anywhere from six to 20 feet<\/a>. Then it is up to the searchers to find which rock, boulder, tuft of grass, or pile of leaves the egg is buried under \u2013 before someone else comes along and finds it.<\/p>\n<p>Closer to home parents can use GPS to map out their hiding spots and make sure that all eggs were collected \u2013 critically important if you use real eggs. No one wants to find a forgotten Easter egg the first time you mow for the season. Yuck!<\/p>\n<p>It might also help parents of teens get their kids engaged in the Easter egg hunt this year as it is something new and can be more than a little exciting. Not only does it get older kids involved in the hunt, but it also teaches younger kids about different ways technology can be used \u2013 aside from the obvious option of playing video games.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get teens involved, consider setting up eggs along a nature trail or through the woodd. Give them GPS tracking devices and tell them to follow the trail to reach their destinations. This helps with map reading skills, orienteering, and good clean fun.<\/p>\n<p>GPS technology is certainly bridging the gap between generations and creating new ways to have fun with a few favorite old traditions. How can you use GPS tracking to make old activities fun for a new generation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Easter egg hunt has gone high tech.
