I was exploring Cunningham Cabin in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming the other day and came across a USGS survey marker on the property. I did not have my GPS unit with me to log the coordinates. Is anyone out there familiar with this BM?

I recently lost my Magellan eXplorist 400. I am in desperate need of a new one before my trip to Colorado. I plan to do some geocaching out there. I have been doing some research and I'm lost with all of the new features and products out there. I have looked at the following units and would like your opinions on each... 1. Magellan eXplorist 500LE - I can get this from Costco.com for $119. I was happy with the 400 so this should be just as good if not better, right? 2. Garmin Etrex Legend HCx - I can get this for around $200 from various sites on the web. The main use for this would be geocaching and nothing much else. How does the Garmin compare to the Magellan? I have no experience with Garmin units. Is the reception better or worse in tree or cloud cover? Can they hold up to drops and can they take some abuse? Thanks.
