I'm new to geocaching, but I hike and backpack as well. I don't believe I need mapping...I can find my way anywhere on surface streets and highways. I'm confident I'll need syncing ability--flat out...all you experiened GPS veterans let me know what 's best. Tom

I believe #200 was Hart's nifty Christmas Ornament cache. How do you fit it in with your 5,527 forum posts??? Congrats Brian!

Congrats JBadger on hitting 200 on RPA-5 Way to go!

We have just noticed that Paul GOTLG has logged his 200th Cache. Well done Paul, many congratulations from us Ann and Brian

Dysdera made his 200th find today at Paul GOTLG's Test Way 1 cache. Unbeknown to dysdera, there has been a hornets' nest right next to the cache since the summer, and people have been avoiding that one! Nonetheless, he seems to have escaped unscathed. Congratulations!

Okay, I'll admit to being naturally indecisive. It can take me an hour to pick out a birthday card for heaven's sake. Now I'm trying to select my first GPSR. I've been reading all the posts about the various ones available at different price ranges and am getting more and more confused. I had decided on a Garmin then read lots of complaints about coverage under trees or the rubber coming off the seam or whatever so I looked more at Magellans After more reading I learned they can 'fake' the signal (maybe they really don't get better reception than the Garmins?), it's taking a long time for people to get rebates (customer service not good?), and Garmin outsells Magellan 5 to 1 (must be a reason?). I've also read that a person should just buy one and learn to use it and they'll be happy with it. And of course there's the 'grass is always greener' feeling to contend with. I've narrowed down how much I can spend right now and what I'll be using the GPSR for and I'd really appreciate any opinions/advice people can give me. I want to spend $200 or less. I'll use it for geocaching and hiking. It rains here! I don't need a radio. I don't need an electronic compass. An altimeter would be nice but I guess I don't 'need' that either. I want some memory and mapping capability, but probably don't need (and can't afford) alot. Will be using it most often under evergreen tree cover. I'd like something that I'll be satisfied with for a couple years. And I use a PC with Windows if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me. (And I'm sorry if this is too much like a question that's been answered a hundred times already )

Does anyone own one of these units yet. I was checking them out online and they intrigue me. Looks like Megellan's answer to the Garmin Legend. Any info available from the real users. GG

Great acheivement today ... Well Done Clan ... now for 300 by Christmas maybe ?

Well done on reaching your second ton at the Gorge ous Wooden Lymm cache.

Well done Dave. Good cache to do it on too.

Hi everyone I want to get started Geocaching but I have a $200 limit to spend on a GPS unit. I know youall have an opinion about this and I know you are probably sick of answering us newbies. The trouble is I'm lost! I just dont know whats good and whats not

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Hedgehog for hitting the 200 cache milestone, I hope it didn't hurt too much

Congratulations go out to the Simes who hit their 200th cache at the Shropshire Souvenir Cache Bashe today. May many more follow.

I wanted to be the first to congratulate the Z-Man on his milestone. This guy started about a month after me. I can't beleive you bagged 200 before I did. Big Congrats. Nice job. Now let's see which one of us can pass Squealy first. Just kidding Squealy. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Because now I am Lost.

Wanted to be the first to congratulate The Z-Man. This guy started almost a month after me (July 26, 2003) and baged 200 before I did. SOB! Big congrats! Job well done. Alright, now lets see who can pass Squealy first. Just kidding Squealy. On your mark, get set..... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Because now I am Lost.

Which GPS would you recomend? I am trying to decide which to buy. Thanks

And the milestone was achieved at Cranbury Cache #1: A Walk In The Woods, a fine choice. Congrats!

Congratulations to E=Mc2 on hitting the 200 mark at this cache - Park & Find 2 - A Stone's Throw. I had the pleasure of chatting with him for a bid at the SouthCentral Cachers Picnic at Blue Marsh. He has placed some of the coolest, BEST hidden caches that I've found out there so far! Check 'em out if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed! Dude, Thats a Fire Hydrant!!!!

Congrats to Planet for passing right past 200 finds while we did 11 caches today. Seems like only yesterday she had hit 100. Way to go, Claire! "This is gc.com, love it or leave it "

Well done Martin. And Toby! We're slow but thorough

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S to two of my local cachers who have both just found their 200th caches... Woodbury Walker found his 200th today at my members only "Face it, you're stumped!" cache in Devon, and Waaders found his 200th just a few weeks ago at "A fine view" in Cornwall. Congrats to you both, and I'm looking forward to actually meeting you both at the Exeter Event in just over three weeks time. Stuey

Well done to Michelle&Mike on reaching their 200th cache and at burial mound too! Talk about a milestone cache!!!

Congrats! It was great to meet two of your members at the Beer & Wings night... I won't tell which two!

Well done Mel and Barbara and thanks for choosing one of ours again for your 200th.
