Just a heads up - I picked one up today at J&R in NYC. Cheapest price I've seen anywhere. They had the PN-60 for 219.99 and PN60W for 249.99 on the shelf.

VERY funny! I liked that one! Good advice everyone, thanks. Having another person is a good idea. Throws off the eye a little more. Construction garb is another good idea. Those guys seem to go everywhere and not get questioned.

Finding a cache in NYC is about as tough as anywhere else aside from the problem of signal bounce. But, I have located 3 caches that I can not get to due to muggles!! Boy am I becoming FRUSTRATED! I a finding these around my lunch hour during work. Every time I locate a cache there is always a limo driver sitting right there in his car or standing nearby smoking. I just today found a cache on East 44th St and across the street was 100+ women on line for Rachel Ray show!! Talk about an awkward moment! I even moved the cache with my foot to make sure that was it. But if I tried to get it I would have been discovered for sure. I have walked by a cache (that I have seen), on my way to work 3 times and have not had the moment to go get it. There has always been a muggle or homeless muggle right there next to it. So, my question is how do I get these caches? The cloak of night is one option but I'm not in NYC at night. I thought of maybe dropping my backpack near the cache and discreetly slip it out while pretending to look in my bag. Any ideas from those who have had success in broad daylight in the heart of a city like NYC?

I'm really interested in the SPOT service as well so if anyone has experience please let us know. Another thought is not to get one device for two duties in case one function breaks or you upgrade.

I just happened into Walmart this afternoon and saw that the eXplorist 500 series in on sale for $150. Walmart calls it a "rollback" price whatever that is. My wife says its their early Christmas sale. Anyway $150 is a great price on this unit. I bought one!
