I currently have a 60CSx, which I like, but a couple of the buttons have stopped working, so I want to replace it. I'm having a hard time deciding between another 60CSx, a Vista HCx, or the new Oregon 400t. I've read reviews of the other two units, but looking for input from people who've maybe compared the three.
I use mine primarily for hiking/walking, but also for some car navigation. I already own Topo 2007 and City Navigator.
i finually got the vista hcx, and am liking it so far.

Greetings from Ohio

some of my finds are spot on and some are way off.

I clicked the link above and got a message saying "Sorry, the product was not found."
Reading about that company on their site says that they only offer one product a day. The next day the product is no longer available and a new one is then offered.
that sux i wanted one also.

I have been geocaching for about 8 months, but only became a Premium Member about 2 weeks ago. I shelled out a membership fee to only support the activity and keep the site running, not because of the extra features that would come with a Premium Membership.
After becoming a Premium Member I noticed a couple more caches in my area, then noticed that they weren't new, but for Premium Members only! I think these are a disgusting feature. I waited a week before I posted this, giving myself time to cool off and think about it more, but I still hate the fact that they exist on this site.
I have no problem with any of the other features offered to Premium Members that make geocaching easier/more convenient/more fun. But to find out that regular (unpaying) members are excluded from some Geocaches is terrible.
I have heard the argument that the site needs to make money, so they have to offer features that will attract people to paying to become a Premium Member. That may be true, but it is my feeling that this should be done other ways. They already offer many other features to Premium Members, so they should still have membership fees coming in, plus, there is advertising on the site. I'm sure the advertisers are paying well.
I also argue that unpaying members are not just "freeloaders". I have several regular member friends that have placed many caches. Placing a new cache is not free: between the cost of a container, logbook, pencil, and some trade items, one can easily spend $20 to put out a cache. This site/activity depends on people placing new caches continuously, so should not be excluding those people from finding them.
How upset would you be if you were a regular member that had just spent $20 putting a nice cache together, another $20 for gas to place it in a special spot that you would like others to see, but when you try to register it are told by a reviewer that your cache cannot be placed there because there is already one there? One that you are not allowed to participate in because you chose to spend your money placing a cache rather than forking it over to this site to join their "Premium Members" club.
Am I alone here?
no i feel the same way.

Does hotmail not have something like a 1mb email limit on their accounts? I would check that your inbox isn't full.
Googlemail is so much better there is literally no limit.
yes i agree gmail rocks.

I bought an '88 Jeep Wrangler, joined up over on JeepForum.com, stumbled across a thread titled "Jeeocaching-Jeeping+Geocaching", and the rest is history. I've had my Jeep for a little over a week, and I'm trying to come up with the money to buy a decent handheld GPSr so I can really get involved. That's how I discovered geocaching, and I think I'm hooked now.
Now if only that Wrangler got better gas mileage so I could afford to drive farther to find caches. . . lol
i heard about it esveral years ago, took me awhile to start looking into it.
