There is a lot of good input here, I really appreciate the thoughts. I'm still holding out that Garmin or DeLorme or someone will put out a GPSr that has 3G or 4G. I mean, they can do it for the Kindle, so it would be nice to have it on a GPSr so you can carry around one device rather than two. I already had an iphone and downloaded the app, but at times it is cumbersome to use - the compass often "sticks" in one direction, the accuracy is not great, it only looks up a few of the caches in the immediate area, etc. However, it IS much more convenient than the alternative. I definitely enjoy being in an area and just looking up caches rather than having to decide where I am going and having to download those caches ahead of time. Anyway, thanks again for the thoughts. I'll still cross my fingers that my dream will come true. Until then, it's the iphone and my Garmin GPSr!

Thought I would throw a question out to the brain trust here. Is there a GPSr unit that has the ability to view caches in an area (that you didn't previously upload) like the iphone app will do? Probably a dumb question, but I just thought I would ask. I realize the iphone is cellular technology and the GPSr is slightly different, but no harm in asking, right? I searched the forums for a while and didn't see anything, but I might be searching using the incorrect keywords. Anyway, sorry if it was mentioned elsewhere and sorry if it is a dumb question. I currently use my iphone to find caches when I am out on a drive in a new area and then my GPS to get accurate directions, but it would be really nice to have it all in one unit. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thank you!

Hey all. I am new to GC'ing and am enjoying the heck out of it. Still trying to learn the ropes but getting the hang of it. I purchased a Garmin eTrex Legend and I am using that for starting out. I haven't found too many reviews on it and wanted to see what the pros here think of it? Is it decent for starting out? What is a more accurate GPSr for under $300? Should I just stick with this one for now? Thanks for any feedback!
