New to geocaching and would be nice to find someone to go with or even just to help me figure out the gps lol I live in Guildford, Surrey

I would like to start geocaching but don't have a huge budget. I have maps, compass as I walk anyway and also google maps on my phone so just need something simple to put the coordinates into. Would this be ok? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Garmin-eTrex-GPS-Receiver-Lot-16-/200816601129?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item2ec19a2829#shId

A car sat nav may work but is unlikely to be overly great to use, as it's designed to navigate by road and almost certainly won't have any detail of anything that isn't a road. You may also have issues with batteries (some are designed to be permanently powered) and weatherproofing. That said depending on just what you have it may work - I know a guy who cached with a car satnav before he bought a dedicated GPS. Whereabouts are you? You might be able to find a local event where you can meet other cachers and talk to them about units, and maybe see if anyone has an old unit they'd be willing to part with. Hi, thank you. I am in Guildford. Watching a garmin etrex 10 on ebay so fingers crossed

Hello, thank you. I did download an app for my phone but was then told that is being discontinued soon. I have a Sony W715 which does have gps and google maps, which I use often for walking. If I could find something for my phone it'd be great but I can't seem to Would a car sat nav work?

Hi, I am looking for a simple gps so I can try geocaching with my son and daughter. We walk any way so have maps etc, just need something fairly basic to get started with. Thank you
