I've been messing with GPSr for a few years now, while geocaching for only a few months. My primary use (before GC) was to mark crab pot locations in the bay. My buddy and I refer to his GPS as the CPPS. (crab pot positioning system).
I did quite a bit of comparison shopping/research before I purchased my GPS. I opted for the GPSMap60C(S). It was about 400 bucks plus I popped for the auto kit which included North America City Select mapping software. Absolutely no regrets.
The unit is great for finding addresses (for my job) and tough enough to bounce off of rocks while caching.
The bottom line is, if you're going to spring for a GPSr, get the best you can comfortably afford. You most likely will start using those extra bells and whistles that you don't think you have any use for right now.....
Good luck and happy caching!
