Where I go?

Sunday, March 8. 2009

Whereigo is a rather new variant of the classic Geocaching GPS trash hunting game.

Sadly, Groundspeak (the Geocaching.com operator) didn't manage it until now to present a player for the wherigo "catridges" for java enabled phones. Currently, only Windows CE and the Garmin Orgegon are supported by Wherigo.

Now for the happy part:
I found a Thread in the Groundspeak forums about OpenWIG. This is an evolving project that builds a wherigo player for j2me (java for mobile phones). Many cartridges already run with the player, many don't. But give it a try, you have good chances. I hope all the best for this project.

So long, I don't have more time to write because my Nokia E66 pulls be out to play

(For those who missed the download link above:
Navigate your phone to http://openwig.googlecode.com/files/OpenWIG.jad for a direct installation "over the air" or visit The OpenWIG google code project page with your browser.)
