  1. I picked up a Garmin GPSMAPS 60CSx a couple years back. The 62-series was to be released in the near future so I picked up a brand new 60-series for a very good price from REI. This is my first GPS and I have to say I love this GPS! Doesn't do everything the newer GPS's do, but for what I use it for and my skill level I'm happy. With that in mind I use the GPS most of this time while caching. Accuracy and battery life are the biggest reasons. Another is the fact that the GPS is more durable in an outdoor environment. The smart phone is a great device. I do use it for caching from time to time, especially if a new cache pops up and I don't have my GPS with me. Both shine in certain situations. However, if I had to pick one over the other, it would be the GPS...HANDS DOWN NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! CP Columbus
  2. I have an HTC Incredible smartphone on which I use the Geocaching.com app. My GPS is a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. While the Incredible is a fine phone, the GPS wins hands down when geocaching and a few other outdoor activities. Battery life is in favor of the Garmin, and yes, I do have the heavy duty battery. While geocaching, coverage in many areas is spotty with the cellphone. Do both have great attributes? YES! Do both have room for improvement? ABSOLUTELY!! But when I'm caching the GPS is my #1 choice. If you don't care for your Oregon 450, I'll be happy to take it off your hands! Final comment; whatever you use, have FUN caching...
