nice discussion. I agree that GPS units getting as accurate as the article describes would take some of the fun out of geocaching, at least for me. I like a little search.

I use a similar setup on my motorcycle, which would work on a car too. The difference being that I use a Garmin Zumo 550 and magellan triton 2000. High end stuff. If the Nuvi works then go with it. The Zumo can get me close on the road but if the cache is off the road I have to rely on my handheld. I think the biggest thing would be to make sure your car GPS has a battery, most don't.

Some excerts from the article include GPS being accurate enough for consumers to pinpoint things to within an arms length, it is being implemented starting this weekend, and 24 will go into orbit with 6 being reserved for spares. Interesting stuff that affects us all, enjoy!
