How do you do that?
As Geocaching grows, so does the need for new technologies. And as we all know everyone likes to keep up with the new things that are coming out and how to do them.
In this area you will find great information that should help you enjoy Geocaching and all of the new things that are evolving from it. We call this area our "How To"
section. Here we gather any info that we can, and share it with you and the rest of the world.
If you have something that you do that makes you life easier while Geocaching or anything to do with Geocaching and want to share it with others, let us know and we
will add it to the list of How To Guides.
If you want to send in something to share, there are a few rules to follow:
- Everything need to be written up so that it can be followed very easily. Just remember that you know how to do it, but someone else would have no clue as to what you are talking about. Start right from the beginning
- No bad words.
- Add Pictures if you can. You don't have to go overboard but a few would be nice.
- Do not put another program down. All are equal here.
- Don't get upset if someone e-mails you and suggests that something else that might work better, and maybe try it this way. Things can always be added or subtracted to your work if YOU request it.

Do you know how do something that you would like to submit for others to learn?
Send it in. We will get it listed as soon as possible and send you a nice little tag that you can add to your Geocaching.com profile that says that you have contributed to the How To guides here on the W.M.G. website. The logo that you will be sent will link directly to the info that you have submitted.
If you want to know how to do something, Send in your request and it will get posted under the "Wanted" section. If someone knows how to do it, you might get lucky and someone will do a "How To" on it.
If you know it will take a few days to write up, send a quick e-mail letting us know what you are going to submit so it can be posted in the Coming Soon section.
