Geocaching in Illte
There is an activity in Illte that resembles geocaching in our world. The locations are found using a tablet computer and the time and ID beacons from the cellular data towers that replaced the former cell phone towers. The system's minimum requirement for a location is the ID number of three towers and the time dilation of each tower. The resolution of the positions differs with the number of towers used in the location listing of the cache. Three-tower caches will have a resolution of 1.5 braz (2.1 feet, 63.5 cm), which is comparable to the GPS system in open areas, while 4-tower caches will have a resolution down to 2 pawz (3.5 inches, 9 cm).
