Hello everyone!
I am very new in the field of Geocaching and information that I can read about the different GPS are very varied. Each ax to grind! In fact as a beginner, I immediately turned my choice on a Magellan eXplorist GC. Only basic GPS for geocaching. But after further reading, I saw that "more" could positively enhance the experience. So I rise through the ranks (and price!). I first watched a lot about Garmin Oregon 550 to 650 (T - Is it really useful to have maps preloaded??) Then I noticed the specification of the Garmin line and 1 point mind: they always talk to load cache at Opencaching.com. Does it interfere if I'm with Geocaching.com??. And finally I saw the Magellan exploriste 610. There is a real difference between the Oregon 650 and 610 exploriste??. And finally (I know this is a lot of questions, but the more I read, the more I am confusion!) I want to know what is the difference between Oregon and Montana in the Garmin series?.
I must specify that this is my first GPS but that adaptation does not really scares me. I seek strength (children, rain, etc.), easy to read in bright sunlight (I'm really frustrated with my cell), very good reception and like the camera it's seems to be more than very interesting. Using a car navigation could also be a must but not exclusively necesary.
I bolded the issues that really bother me!
Sorry for my english misktake, i'm a french spoken!
Thank you very much,
Francois
