this is my first gps and it is great for geocaching. I get within 10 feet of the cache under a decent amount of tree cover. defenetly great for anyone starting out or at a medium level of intrest. Good, tough and water resistant. the case is decent also. note: go to amazon i got it for $99 before shipping.After shipping it was $120 and the case was 10. I also got an unexcpected rebate that ends tomorrow for $30 so i ended up buying it for $100 case and gps.
