+Miragee Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I love my Garmin Vista C. I like its small size and is very durable. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I currently use the 60CS and have found it to be the best of all the GPS's that I have used. This may change tomorrow since there is always something newer and better on the horizon (like the 60CSX coming out soon). Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I double team with a Quest and Geko 301. I like my decision. If they came out with a VI, things may be different. Quote Link to comment
+PilotMan Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have a semi old Magellan SporTrac. Suits me fine. Quote Link to comment
+bobbarley Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Of all the units I have tried (probably 12) I am happy with my garmin Map76. Its big but I am OK with that. Big buttons big screen means easier with with my big hands and gloves. I would lose my mind if I had to use one of those track point click thingys. Quote Link to comment
+radioscout Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have a GPSMap76CS and would like to have the new GPSMap76CSX. Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Do I have to say it again, Trimble. Well, okay I don't have several thousand dollars to burn, so more realistically I'd like a Lowrance Expedition C for caching. (But I would want other units for other purposes.) Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 which out of all GPS on the market today would you prefer Kind of a tough question. I haven't used many GPS's so it's hard to pick from too wide a group. For geocaching I'm happy with the basic ones. Legend, Vista. For driving around a new town I like the new auto-routing jobbers (60/76cs) better than the GPS V. But I wouldn't throw the GPS V away. I'm wondering why you posted the faces? Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) I have a GPSMap76CS and would like to have the new GPSMap76CSX. Bingo! Same here. (Of course I'd also like a Trimble but let's be serious!) Edited January 10, 2006 by Thrak Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've yet to find a perfect unit. A Lowrance iFinder H20 would be perfect if it was smaller had a better user interface and did autorouting. A Garmin eTrex Vista C would be perfect if it had a serial connection (in adddition to the USB) and 1 meg of internal memory, unlimited waypoints and an external antenna jack. An eXplorist 600 might be perfect if it had a better user interface, mapping software and used AA batteries. A MeriPlat might be perfect if it were smaller and had a better user interface and mapping softwarre. A Garmin Quest II would be perfect if the screen oriented for both handheld and dashboard use and used AA batteries. A Garmin 76CS would be perfect if it had a memory card and was smaller and the same goes for a 60CS. Every unit has its strong points and weak points, so its up to the user to choose which features are important and select a GPS based on those criteria. Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Are there any autorouting units that can drive for me yet?? Quote Link to comment

+JohnnyVegas Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Like Brian said, there is no perfect GPS. They all have things that could have been done better. These are two examples that I can think of before coffee. Magellans road mate does not allow for user waypoints Garmin new x series does not allow loading waypoints onto memory card Quote Link to comment
+StarshipTrooper Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 ::: puts down his spare backup Trimble and quietly moves thread to the GPS Units and Software Forum ::: "...Now, you're just showing off!" Like Brian said, different units do different things better - so of all the units on the market, the one I want is "several". Quote Link to comment
CenTexDodger Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I believe the 60csx would be about perfect for me. I love my 60cs for hiking, camping, hunting and in-car navigation, and with a 512mb card in there it would be unlimited. Quote Link to comment

mudhuggers Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I like my Magellan GOLD. Quote Link to comment
Magellin Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I use a sextant........... Still Quote Link to comment
+Kewaneh & Shark Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 A Trimble R8 with a TSC2 Controller. It's a bit bulky for Geocaching (can you say 'overkill'?), but with near millimeter precision, the ability to receive the new L2C satellite signals, on-the-fly data processing, and Bluetooth connections, it's absolutely amazing. It's my weapon of choice for work. For Geocaching and Benchmarking, my GPSr of choice is a Magellan Gold. Mine is nearly three years old and still going strong. ... but a good Sextant will never let you down either. - Kewaneh Quote Link to comment
+NinjaMonkey Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'd love to have a 60CSx. My 60CS is great but the new model looks to be perfect. Quote Link to comment
Dr_Dajom Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I use a sextant........... Still How do you find caches with one of those? Quote Link to comment
