Thank you all for your suggestions and help. I am now the owner of a Garmin Dakota 20 --- and plan on trying it this weekend I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. I'm really excited about this, having only tried it a couple of times before but enjoyed it both times.

Hi all, I am very new to geocaching -- gone once with a friend and then tried it again this past weekend. I want to keep doing it and am looking at buying a unit -- but am still unsure what to look for. I've been reading and like the paperless options but what else should I be considering. I've read the getting started part of the website, but still can't decide. I've been looking at the Garmin Dakota 20GPS, GARMIN OREGON 200 HANDHELD GPS, Garmin GPSMAP 60CX S/MARINE, and the GARMIN RINO 530 HCX GPS NAVIGATOR. What I don't like about the RINO is you can't use regular batteries - it is a rechargable one only - like the idea of being able to use AA or something if the battery dies on the trail. I do like the radio aspect to it though. Any recommendations? Any thoughts on the above units? Thanks!
