Groundspeak launched “Whereigo” today and it looks to be another great addition to their lineup of GPS based, fun products.

From the website:

“Whereigo is a toolset for creating and playing GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. Use GPS technology to guide you to physical locations and interact with virtual objects and characters.

In late 2001, after running Geocaching.com for over a year, Jeremy Irish and Elias Alvord came up with an interesting challenge: How could they take their favorite adventure games and bring them outdoors with GPS technology?

The idea is that you can move around in the real world using GPS and a handheld device to experience media-rich content relating to your location. The experience can be a tour guide, an adventure game or anything dreamed up by an author.

Things look to be heating up for “GPS - The Movie”. We see that there are a couple of more screenings coming up in the next few months.

In production since 2005, “GPS - The Movie” tells the story of a pair of scavenger hunt enthusiasts who embark upon a camping trip with a group of old friends, following the trail of a mysterious invitation with hopes of finding fortune. When the trail leads them to photographs of a masked woman tied to a chair along with a new set of coordinates, their search takes a frightening turn.

Based on true events, the story is set amidst some of the most stunning and frightening locations in Washington State.

The official website for GeoWoodstock VI went live a few days ago, after much anticipation on our part. We had the dates marked on our calendar for months. We missed it last year and don’t want to miss this one. We have already registered and now making our flight and hotel plans. It will be held in Wheatland which is just outside of Sacramento, California on May 24, 2008.

GeoWoodstock is a yearly get-together for Geocachers from all over the world. It began in June of 2003 in Louisville, Kentucky. This was followed in 2004 in Nashville, Tennessee, 2005 in Jacksonville, Florida, 2006 in Dallas, Texas and earlier this year in Raleigh, North Carolina. It has grown to become the world’s largest Geocaching related event and GeoWoodstock VI is expected to draw 3000 Geocachers!
