  1. Have you tried the GSAK macro? You might not need to upgrade.
  2. I use a Garmin Nuvi 350. I bought it refurbished in 3/09 for $110. It works amazingly well. When you set the screen to the lowest brightness the battery lasts up to 8 hours. It works fantastically well with the GSAK macro so you can go caching paperless. Set the GPS to off road, pedestrian and if you have a topo map use that and deselect the street navigation map. There are some free State topo maps or you can buy Garmin Topo. Follow the GPS to the spot. When the GPS says you've arrived hit menu and then the top left corner of the screen. It gives you a read out of your exact coordinates. If you check the last 3 digits of the N & W you can land right on top of the cache. It will indicate as close as 3 feet of accuracy and when under trees as poorly as 17 feet but every time I use that feature the cache is under my feet when I stand at the exact coordinates. The only problem with it is that it's not easy to hold. Now that I've discovered I love caching it's probably time to upgrade to a good handheld but money is a little tight now.
