Don't understand all the recommendations for Garmin. I own a Magellan Explorist 600, My brother owns a Garmin xl or whatever cost $500. We stopped using his Garmin 4 months ago, it couldn't begin to match the accuracy of the Explorist. He could put us to within 10ft of the cache. The explorist put us on top of it. I recommend the Magellan 400, it only costs about $250 now also comes with a built in 'Geocache Program'.
And comes with a geocaching program for your computer which lets you dowload the waypoints directly to the gps.
Also I use the explorist for propsecting, one of my hobbies, it takes me back to any waypoint I save, even 2 years after I saved it. Some say the electronic compass is unimportant, I disagree. If you go into the back country as I do,(sometimes 10 to 20 mile, no roads, etc) get one with the compass, you will find 'Geocaching' might not be the only thing you use it for.
