Hello.
I am very new to the geocache world.
I have found two urban ones with relative ease but today i was searching for a cache in Epsom Common (Surrey, UK) which is a bit more rural although only about a mile outside of Epsom which is a small but busy town on the edge of South London. The GPS on my Galaxy S2 smart phone didn't seem to track me properly
I got to within 889m of GZ but after following the suggested direction for several hundred metres the distance to the co ordinates didn't seem to change at all.
Is this symptomatic of using a phone or would i have had the same problem with a dedicated GPS system?
In the end i gave up looking as I could have either been right next to it or up to 1km out in all directions.
Any advice would be appreciated.
If (as i suspect) i'd be better of with a dedicated GPS can you recommend a decent but affordable one for the casual newbie geocacher?
