is the name given to a recently contrived adventure goal: using GPS to find and visit points of intersection between latitude and longitude. Seems pretty silly to me to seek out entirely arbitrary places based simply on a cartographic coordinate system. What's next? Traveling to the points that coincide with corners of USGS 7.5' topographic maps?
However, a truly fun activity can be had by going geocaching. Just make sure the map datum and that entered in the GPS receiver agree.
