Hi, I have been here once before a year and a half ago, but didn't really get interested until now. Anyway, I have a very low budget ($120 except when going to circuit city, as I have a $40 gift card which I need to use up ). I am looking around to see what the best GPS for my budget is. I have found some recommending the Garmin eTrex Venture HC, and others the Garmin GPS 60. What do you guys think I should get? Also, I would like it if it was Linux compatible. Thanks to everyone who helps, Smartboy

Just enter the coordinates as it says on the cache page, it will accept it that way.

yup, thx everybody for responding b4 i bought it.

It is the Garmin eTrex Legend Cx. It is only $184.99 on amazon.com. Tell me what you think of it if you have ever had one or look at the page i found it on. Thanks! Link is: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-eTrex-Legend-...0423329?ie=UTF8

would you give me the link? I might look into one of these.

I do want a color screen. It would be nice to have PDA functions, but it isn't necesary. I would like to be able to hook up to my laptop. I probably would want everything new. It will probably need to be rugged.

I am a new geocacher and would like tips on what to buy. I would like the system to cost no more than $300. I would like to use it in the car and while hiking, too.
