Well, as it turned out the one that I borrowed does not go to thousandths in seconds. Two decimal point places not three. It should still be fun to get the feel for a GPS. I'll see what happens and let you know. Dave, squirrelly as all heck

I was able to track down a GPS unit from a guy at work, he uses it to hunt and fish. I don't know what kind it is but at least I'll be able to try it out for a few days just to see what I like and don't like about it. Thanks again for all of your comments and suggestions.

Thanks for the great advice...and for not correcting my many typo's!! I plan on reading many posts and articles over the next few days and hopefully make a decision on a GPS by weeks end. Dave, squirrelly as all heck

OK, before you think I'm a very excited teen, I'm 39 (and still very excited). I read about gecaching in the local Sunday paper's travel section this past weekend. I've never heard of it before. They listed this site as one of the best, so here I am. Boy, do I have questions. #1. Do you think I should settle down a little before I jump into the world of geocaching? #2. What is a good GPS unit to purchase for a newbie who has 3 kids who will want to learn to read it? #3. Where should I get this unit? Can I get it online, or shoul I get it locally and get a warrantee with it? #4. How long have you fols been doing this? I don't consider myself a putz so I can't understand why I haven't heard of this before. I would guess It got much easier in 2000. Thanks in advance squirrelly as all heck
