Muggle

A non-geocacher. Based on "Muggle" from the Harry Potter series, which is a non-magical person.

Usually this term is used after a non geocacher looks puzzled after befriending a geocacher searching

for a cache, or when a non-geocacher accidentally finds a cache. Geomuggles are mostly harmless.

Multi-Cache (offset Cache)

This is one of several cache types. A multi-cache ("multiple") involves two or more locations, the final

location being a physical container. There are many variations, but most multi-caches have a hint to

find the second cache, and the second cache has hints to the third, and so on. An offset cache (where

you go to a location and get hints to the actual cache) is considered a multi-cache.

Mystery or Puzzle Caches

This is one of several cache types. The "catch-all" of cache types, this form of cache can involve

complicated puzzles you will first need to solve to determine the coordinates. Examples include

complicated ciphers, simple substitutions, arithmetical quizzes and clues cleverly hidden within the

graphics, Due to the increasing creativity of geocaching this becomes the staging ground for new and

unique challenges.

NAD27

Stands for North American Datum 1927. The precursor to WGS84. Many maps still use the NAD27

datum, so always check before using a GPS receiver with a map.

Pocket Query (PQ)

A Premium Member feature, a Pocket Query is custom geocache search that you can have emailed to

you on a daily or weekly basis. Pocket Queries give you the ability to filter your searches so you only

receive information on the caches you want to search for in either a GPX of LOC format. This feature

lets you download up to 500 caches at one time.

Project A.P.E. Cache

This is one of several cache types. In 2001, twelve geocaches were placed in conjunction with 20th

Century Fox to support the movie Planet of the Apes. Each cache represented a fictional story in

which scientists revealed an Alternative Primate Evolution. These caches were made using specially

marked ammo containers. Each cache had an original prop from the movie. Only two Project A.P.E.

caches exist today.

ROT13

Hints for geocaches are encrypted using a simple format where each of the letters are rotated 13

characters up or down in the alphabet.
