[Just Bought A eTrex Legend, Anything I Should Know About It?]

Aw man, yeah it is definitely the older one. I guess it's still a step up from my Mio Moov I was using (had like a half hour of battery life, did the same where it would bring you to the general area.)

[Just Bought A eTrex Legend, Anything I Should Know About It?]

So I recently bought a used old Garmin eTrex Legend off ebay (still waiting for it in the mail.) I never owned a handheld gps device (all my previous finds were with a hacked Mio Moov 200 I had).

 

Is there anything I should do to make caching easier/more fun/etc with the etrex? Upload maps, anything paperless, etc. Is the Legend accurate? My Mio Moov was sort of a pain.

[Any GPS Device That Does Both Directions and Caching?]

Etrex 20

 

Ok, I'll definitely look into the Etrex 20. Are there any free maps one can use with it or does one have to by CityNavigator? Also, I guess caching would be secondary, as I probably drive much more than I geocache, so I'd lean towards one that does more of the driving side than caching, but if this is the only one that does both, works for me.

 

Android phone and a couple of apps

 

Unfortunately I definitely cannot afford a data plan or and Android phone at this time. However, in the future, are the Androids accurate enough to let you cache?

[Any GPS Device That Does Both Directions and Caching?]

Ok so my Mio Moov 200 broke today. I was using that for both car directions and to geocache (with 3rd party software I installed). I will need to get a new gps, however due to my current situation, I can't spend more than around $150ish on a gps.

 

Are there any gps devices on the market now that will give me directions for driving and allow me to geocache? I was looking at something like the Garmin Nuvi 1250, but not sure if that would work.

[GPS Coordinates Freeze, Does this happen with every GPS?]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to geocaching, but when I go out trying to find a cache, my GPS unit will work when I'm in motion, but the second i stop moving and try to search, or walk slowly, my unit stays stuck on previous coordinates.

 

This has made finding even simple caches incredibly difficult and frustrating, and is actually turning me off from caching altogether. Does this happen with every GPS device? Right now I'm using a Mio Moov, and unfortunately I don't really have it in my budget to buy a state of the art GPS.
