Hi
I am a relatively new geocacher and I have been using the iPhone app (premium version) and haven't had too many difficulties with it. The only issues are its accuracy (sometimes upto 15-20 feet out) and the fact that it relies heavily on using mobile data to load the maps, so in areas with no mobile data coverage the map overlay loads up very slowly. It also uses my monthly data allowance up rather quickly.
I have been thinking about purchasing a proper GPS device and I have been looking at the Garmin eTrex range, mainly as these are at the lower end of the price scale but all do support paperless geocaching. I am looking at either the eTrex 20 or eTrex 30. However I don't want to spend money on one if its no better than what I already have on the iPhone.
Has anyone used a Garmin eTrex device and is it worth buying one if I use the iPhone app or am I just duplicating the same features I already have access to?
