  Description     : player for wherigo cartridges

A sister-site of geocaching.com is wherigo.org. There people can publish 
cartridge files, which can contain tour guides, puzzles (often leading to a 
geocache), or other adventure-style games. The adventures always make use of a 
gps receiver to know your position, and part of the adventure is to actually 
walk around with your legs instead of your keys. A player is required to use 
those cartridges. The site provides a non-free player. There are several other 
players available for different phones.

Wherpygo is another player. It is designed for a netbook. That is not a usual 
platform for the game, because taking a netbook with you is not very 
comfortable. However, the good thing about it is that the interface has more 
features than the default interface. It also includes a debugging mode, which 
can be used by cartridge writers, or players who are stuck.
