[GPS vs Phone App]

Thank you all for your quick feedback. I will stick with my phone. I am having a lot of fun with geocaching so far. I have even been able to explore more areas around where I live. Having lots of fun!!! =)

[GPS vs Phone App]

Hi fellow Geocachers. I am new to this as of a few days ago. I am currently using my cell phone with the Geocaching Intro App. I find that it never really gets me to the coordinates. I am probably within 30 - 40 feet each time. I have found that some of the more challenging multistep caches are quite challenging without a GPS. My questions:

1. Is a GPS more accurate than the phone app?

2. Does a GPS make geocaching easier that just using the phone app? (yes I know you still have to search yourself.)

2. If so, is there a recommended GPS for a beginner?

 

Thanks in advance. Any other tips for a newbie are appreciated!!
