Caching Cat

Just to add my thanks from Germany. You guys did a great job to get everything back online so quickly. It isn't until you loose geocaching.com that you have to try and use the other Geocaching sites. That was an interesting experience!

I discovered this travel bug today - "Get Smart", and was amazed to find that it has been travelling since 2003. Anybody else discovered any older ones than that in recent times? It is certainly refreshing to see after reading all the stories of bugs going missing

Many thanks for the replies. I was tending towards the Oregon anyway and the replies seem to be confirming that opinion. I use GPS pretty much solely for Geocaching and so I think the Oregon will probably be more suited to my needs despite its higher price tag. Flyjazz - I did consider the Colorado, but although I am sure it has many satisfied users and will probably build up a following with time - I decided it has too many reliability/software issues for my liking. Although I do accept that these may have been blown out of proportion somewhat.

Hello! This is my first post on the forum. I am currently looking to replace my prehistoric Garmin GPS 12XL with something a little bit more modern - it has served me very well, but it is time to change. I am keen to stick with Garmin and have narrowed the choice down to the 60csx or the Oregon 400t - both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. The 60csx is arguably the "standard" among Geocachers - certainly among those I have met in my area and it is available at a pretty advantageous price these days but it doesn't come with Topo maps as standard. the Oregon is more expensive, but comes with Topo maps and has the added benefit of being able to do these new fangled Wherigo thingies - not sure if that is going to be something for me, but I would at least like to try them and see. So - are there any other things that I should be thinking about? Are there any other advantages of the Oregon over the 60csx (or vice-versa) I look forward to your replies.
