Modern phone GPS is equal to a handheld GPSr these days.  

If you don't need a GPSr for other things,  a modern phone works fine with this hobby.  

 

I feel the only difference would be how either is affected by your basic membership.

With a GPSr, you can access all caches not rated Premium Member Only by using the website.  Probably what you did before.

Using the app, you're limited to 2D/2T caches and below.

   - But you can add all caches not rated Premium Member Only in the app too, by adding caches as waypoints , using the website.

Hey Cerberus1 - can you explain how to add caches as waypoints as you have noted above?

 

I am brand new to caching, I have found 12 - YAY!!  I am just using my smart phone and the geocache free app.  I noted that I see many caches on the website that I do not see on my phone app.  I really want to do more and have more available to me when I am out and about....

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,

 

We are in Ontario Canada!  A friend of a friend took us out geocaching a few years back and we had a great time.... So, when I was looking for things to do with my 11 year old this summer, this came to mind.  We are headed out shortly to try to find our very first caches on our own... please wish us luck!
