In May 2000, Selective Availability was removed from the Global Positioning System, thereby instantly improving the accuracy of GPS technology. In order to test its accuracy, computer consultant Dave Ulmer hid a container in the woods near his home in the State of Oregon, USA, and posted the coordinates online for others to find it. Thus, the outdoor recreational activity of geocaching was created.
Geocaching enthusiast Dara Connolly joins Wendy in the studio to talk about this activity which has become popular all over the world.
