About This Cartridge

**I'm leaving this up for testing/emulator purposes only. It has been archived as a Geocache and will no longer be updated. To begin the cartridge you need to put in "SY17585" at the beginning when prompted to.**

Are you in the mood for a walk to a cache? Then why not try out our Advanced-Prototype-Artificially-Intelligent-Voice-Guided Navigation System, or APAIVGNS for short. I purchased the model from a company who were trying to develop the world's most user friendly and intuitive model. Unfortunately they went bankrupt before they could complete it, but I'm sure it had nothing to do with this project. The scientist in charge of developing the model went mad, but I'm sure it was probably because of all the stress he was under. The man who sold the model to me laughed maniacally as I walked away, but I'm sure it was probably because he was thinking of a funny joke. What a bargain, they were practically giving it away!
Anyway.. I have already programmed the trip to the cache for you. All you have to do is go to the coordinates, plug in your earphones and let Rachel (that's her name) guide you to the location.

Instructions and Known Issues:

It's best to download the cartridge through your web browser and while using a WiFi connection. On the iPhone it won't show any download progress, but give it about 5-10 minutes and it should pop up. Then click "Open in Wherigo". On Android, use File Manager to move the downloaded file to the WhereYouGo folder to begin. Please make sure the file is 45.9mb, if smaller it means the cartridge is incomplete!

iPhone issue: If you can move from zone to zone but the audio has disappeared, Quit and Resume the cartridge. On Resume some previous audio will activate, but you should be able to proceed as normal. Please try not to close the iPhone app and keep multitasking to a minimum as the audio cuts out in these cases.

Summary:

What is it?
Audio guided tour to a cache

Who is it for?
For those who enjoy a long walk, seeing some sights, learning some history, or just being told what to do by a commanding automated female voice.

How long is it?
8km or 3 hours (Less without the optional 2km detour) at relatively fast walking pace

What you'll need:
-earphones or headphones
-a fully charged device
-some change or bus ticket for the trip back
-bottle of water to keep hydrated

I have access to either an iPhone or Android device. Which one should I use?
Unlike on the iPhone, on Android the audio and cartridge continue to work even when you are multitasking or the device is put on standby. Multiple audio doesn't reactivate on Resume, and the WhereYouGo app is updated often and generally runs more smoothly. That said, expecting a completely bug free experience is not realistic with these apps, so please be mindful of that.
