I've got an Oregon 400T and I'm very happy with it. It seems sturdily built, and is very easy to use. It really is wonderful to have all the descriptions, hints and previous logs at our fingertips when we're out in the bush. I know I'm spoiled to have started out with such a nice unit. It seems to be very accurate as well, which as a newbie, I really appreciate!

Nice to see all the enthusiastic responses. I too, am new to the game, but I went out on NYD with my son in law and 2 grandchildren (ages 5 and 2). The 5 year old was pleased as punch when he figured out the code to a puzzle cache we found. We were all so excited we went on to another one a half km away, and found it too! But by then it was dark and time to head for home. So much fun!!

Thanks Star Brand for your great suggestions! I just bought a 400t about a month ago to start geocaching and so far it's been great. My four year old grandson is a bit of a techie but he handles the GPS all by himself, that's how easy it is to use. He loves it so much that I only get a chance to look at the GPS when he gets tired of holding it. Since I got the unit we've gone geocaching once a week for the past three weeks. We found our first two caches quite easily but today we were unsuccessful, although I'm impressed with the Oregon's accuracy. I think geocaching is a great sport. Gets us out of house and into the fresh air, and we take the dog along so she gets some exercise too. My two year old granddaughter who loves to walk really enjoys the outings too.
