Thank you. Maybe taking him into the outdoors store in town and trying some of the gps units would not be a bad idea!

LOLOL Yes, a bit, but mainly he is NOT technical at all!

I think so.

Some kind of a Garmin. It's yellow! LOL

LOL He's been printing out maps on paper and taking them with him!

He can upload caches to his garmin with little problem. He's been doing that for years with obvious success. What I'm looking for for him is a car/vehicle gps unit. We're getting a new to us car, but it doesn't have navigation on it and I'd like to gift him that so he doesn't have a problem with the BLM roads that change constantly in NM.

OMG I can see this is going to take a LOT of research! I wanted to surprise him, but it looks like that's not going to happen!

This is the info I needed, thank you. Very few caches out here are in towns or near roads; they're mostly out in the back of the beyond in the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and roads seem to appear and disappear there along with gates being closed. He's been trapped a few times and it's taken him hours to get back out.

I'm totally ignorant about gps, geocaching and anything to do with it so please forgive my ignorance. So any Garmin nuvi will allow you to input gps coordinates to a cache and then it will guide you to it? Or does it have to be a specific nuvi? He is so NOT technical so I want to get him something simple and effective for the BLM lands out here in the West.

He doesn't have a 'smart' phone, just a simple flip phone. Refuses to get a smart phone! Can you input gps coordinates into the DriveSmart 51/61?

My husband geocaches, not in cities, but out in the 'wilds' of NM, CO, UT, NV. What vehicle navigation system would be good for him? He has a 'simple' handheld unit for the caches, but I want something for driving for him.
