[National Geocaching Calling Frequency]

It's strange that this thread just showed up (to me) yesterday. I thought it was a new thread but looking at the dates today... Anyway, nevermind.

Don't know if it will help you or not but I got a Garmin Oregon 450 GPS unit and I love it.

 

Hi, Tony. Thanks for the response. After posting that yesterday one of my buddies sold me his Magellan 510 with a trade of labor involved for erecting a crank-up tower next weekend. Not a bad deal for me, and while I know virtually nothing about Magellan's usability, they have been around for awhile so that's gotta say something. He had gotten it for the boat but recently bought a Raymarine system for it, instead. This 510's a gigantic step up from the eMap and should be fun messing with it. That Oregon looked pretty cool, too. The low price got me on this one, though. That, and I know the kind of use it's had. Thanks again.

I'm here. Actually I just registered with Geocaching.com today, having lately become interested in geocaching. I've got an older Garmin E-map gps that's a monochrome affair which was relegated to fishing/diving waypoints some time back so I'll need to get a new handheld. Any suggestions? I'm sure y'all would know what's good and what's not. Anyway, good to see some hams in here. This looks like fun.
