+2oldkids Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 The "New Poll" option is not available, so: In your experienced opinion, and assuming cost is not a consideration, what gps receiver+software+accessories package would you choose for geocaching? And why? (This is actually a serious question.) Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Trimble It may be a big unit, but what it does is amazing. It runs windows, has wireless internet, and is subfoot accurate. Of course I'd get anything else it needed. On a more down to earth level, money no object, I'd get several GPS's for different things. A new Lowrance color unit for caching, an I-way for driving, and an AirMap 2000c or Garmin 396 for flying. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) Magellan Gold, 512mb SD card, Mapsend Direct Route North America, MS-Mappoint, Palm m500, GSAK, A/C and ciggy adapter, serial to USB converter, 3 dozen 2500maH rechargable AA batteries, a Thinkpad T42p laptop, satellite up/down link strapped to the roof of the trusty Buick Cache-mobile and eight Sears Diehard batteries in the trunk. Better make that TWO Magellan Golds, one for sure will croak at the most inopportune time. Edited December 27, 2005 by Team Cotati Quote Link to comment
Neo_Geo Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I'm thinkin' 60Cx or 76Cx - depends on what they do with that internal memory that's in the non-x models. I love everything about the 60C except for the limited memory. So the ability to expand the memory with a TransFlash card pretty much makes it my dream GPSr. Quote Link to comment
+gcslim Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 It runs windows, has wireless internet, and is subfoot accurate. Of course I'd get anything else it needed. Rugged, too. They can be dropped and get wet, from experience. $2400 isn't even that far out there. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I think the upcoming Garmin 60CX with Mapsource Topo, City Select and Bluechart would be hard tgo beat. The 60s are great units and the expandable memory only makes the better (though I personally would prefer a gig of onboard memory rather than a card). Quote Link to comment
+Klemmer Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Garmin 60CSx with all the software (topo, streets, etc), Delorme XMap Professional with all the datasets i want (I really like mapping!), Hot new PDA to have paperless maps in hand. Enough non-working hours to figure it all out & use it. I'll still keep my trusty Meridian handy for when the 60CSx needs newer firmware, etc. A Gecko for my wife so she will stop breaking the old Etrex Venture, and I can stop fixing it (used almost only for "miles walked").

Dr_Dajom Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I would get me a MobileMapper CE Edited January 6, 2006 by Dr_Dajom Quote Link to comment
+Klemmer Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) Hey, why not, I'll go with the Trimble version: GeoXH We can dream, right? 30cm ("sub-foot") accuracy. [Ok, not real time, has to be post-processed back at the office, but hey, my own caches sure would be accurately placed!] Edited January 6, 2006 by Klemmer & TeddyBearMama Quote Link to comment
Dr_Dajom Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 While we're at it why not the sub centimeter Pro Mark 3 Quote Link to comment
+krisse Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) 60CSx + 2Gb TransFlash + InvisibleShield + 8x AA 2500mAh NiMH + Every topo out there + City Navigator + mounts. - Its nice, its handy, its durable. Edited January 7, 2006 by krisse Quote Link to comment
