I bought an eXplorist 100 yesterday and went right out and used it today to find my first cache as a novice GPSer. It's very easy to use, despite the fact that the unit comes with an abbreviated manual and I also could not download the detailed manual from the Magellan site (either at home or work, so it wasn't my computer). I didn't need a lot of bells and whistles and maps, and I'm very happy with the purchase. $89 on sale at GI Joe's through 9/18 in the Portland, OR area.
