Mini-missions: The Coats of arms of England
November 20, 2008

If you live in England, turn on your GPS phone and check if there is a new mission in your area!
We have added over fifty new missions – at the end of each one you can get the coat of arms of a county or a town as a trophy (see picture). This is an example in Exeter.
That’s over fifty new trophies available in England only. For browsing through the new missions, try this search or go to the mission browser. The coat of arms missions are visible if you zoom in enough.
And don't mention the football match yesterday... Have fun!

Next round – Mission of the Month
November 10, 2008
by Orbster
The October round of the Mission of the Month competition has ended. We have started to look through all of the interesting missions you submitted. Our independent jury will pick the winner of a brand new Nokia N82 soon.
The next round of our competition will end on December 7. Again, we will be giving away a N82 GPS phone for the creator of the best mission. We have improved our mission designer by adding two different types of maps (Google Maps and Open Street Map) – there is no excuse any more for not designing an exciting mission yourself!

Mission of the Month – September results.
October 28, 2008
by Orbster
Our jury has cast the vote and the results are in. The first and second place go to the Netherlands: the best mission of September is “Amsterdam Eastern Docklands” by our user Paul Meijer (internethPaul). It features a lot of bridges, water and historic as well as modern architecture.
Paul wins an Nokia N82 for this great mission! Among the reasons this was chosen certainly were the great location, great selection of pictures as well as interesting texts and the walking route.
The second place goes to “Goffert Park, Nijmegen” by our well-known community member Ryoushi. The third place goes to “Pray that you can solve this” in Idaho – for its unconventional and funny approach (complete with hilarious pictures) by MommasPrecious.
All of the three top contestants receive 2000 Gold!
Even though our winners are this time more or less straight-forward walks at interesting places, everybody is encouraged to enter more extravagant missions. We had a few crime & fantasy stories, which unfortunately didn’t make it this time. May be in the next round? The best mission competition goes on: the current round will end on Sunday, the 9th of November. So keep on entering great missions!
