+jlamb06 Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I've been wanting a new PDA for geocaching. What should i get? Palm? PocketPc? What models are the best? What one have people had the best luck with? The worst luck? Which are the most durable? Quote
+Pasha Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 How much time do you have? The fact is, there's so many possibilities that you'll probably have the best luck just finding some review/comparisons online and reading them. The most popular handhelds for caching seem to be the various Palm OS PDAs. That's about all it can be narrowed down to, though - as many people will swear by the $20 Palm III found on eBay as by the latest $400 Tungsten or Treo. Same way with the WinCE and PocketPC handhelds. Just about everything you can buy can run some form of specialized caching software, so your decision on a new one should probably be based on the non-caching features. I use a Treo650 right now - but I didn't buy it, my company did. Best of all worlds if you ask me. Quote
+Alan2 Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 How much do you want to spend? Do you need it for shool or work too? Quote
+ricstone Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 i use a visor deluxe with 8meg memory. i got it off ebay for $20 bucks. so if i bust it or lose it i dont have much money invested. it with Gsak an Cachemate works great. good luck Quote
+Team Tired Boy Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 The best PDA for geocaching is a cheap PDA. It's going to get banged around, dropped, sat on, accidentally left next to a cache, etc. Best to get a cheap one that you can replace painlessly when you destroy it. Cachemate doesn't need much, and works fine on the Palm IIIxe that I got for $16 off eBay. Quote
