+RussellM Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Looking for a good starter gps? I have your answer. Garmin Etrex. There are a few differnet levels. Simplest is the Yellow Etrex and the most advanced is the Vista. I started with a Yellow Etrex and still use it 3 years later. Ebay is the best bet, it should be around 50, maybe a little less.

+maldar Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Keep watching these forums and get an etrex Legend. It is 2 steps higher than the yellow etrex and while garmin says it is 2 steps below the Vista; I consider it only 1 step. I just got one here for $60 including shipping. The Legend has mapping which I think is a must. I have had mine since 2002 and only just started getting lines in the screen, but is still useable. The lines seem to go away after it has been on awhile. You will be happy with this and so will the kiddies. Maldar Quote Link to comment
sanramonhunter Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Try craigslist as well I see the yellow etrex on craigslist for $50 all the time sometimes new. Seen legends for $75 or so used. I'd probably go with the legend as well given my choice. Quote Link to comment
+Luv2hyke Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) I just bought a Garmin 60CSx. I am willing to sell my eTrex Legend for $80 which includes the shipping. It is under two years old and in fantastic shape. I will even send you a dvd package that I bought that shows you how to use it. I have the manual, lanyard and cable, but I don't think I have the box (I will look for it). I love it and find it much more easier to use than what I just bought!

Not trying to be rude or anything, seeing as I'm new to this whole geocaching experience, and it's been a lot of fun, but I've been seeing yellow Etrex's on eBay that are new in the package for around $60 shipped, so a practically new one for $75 seems pretty pricey Quote Link to comment
