Crossover GPS

[kstate]

Ok I want a GPS to do several things:

 

1. Navigation in my car (with turn by turn)

2. Geocaching

3. Golf (I create a route for each hole with current Garmin GPS)

 

Is there any GPS unit out there that can do all of these things?

 

Would I be better off using Pocket PC with a bluetooth GPS?

 

Should I just plan on buying specific GPS units for each activity?

My friend has a Quest that he really likes, but it wasn't my choice for two reasons. First his doesn't accept extra memory and the last update took up a large chunk of his 115 Mb internal memory. Second, the screen is too small for me when driving. My wife bought me the nuvi200W for the car which has a real nice sized screen and then I bought the Vist HCx for hunting, hiking, and now geo caching. The combined cost of both of mine was slightly less, like $40, then what my friend paid for his Quest. I don't know if this helps you at all but that was my reasoning for buying two GPSrs

I would agree with the Vista HCx, or if the screen isn't large enough for your taste on the Vista, the 60/76 CSx would be my next pick.

I believe the Magellan Crossover GPS will do all of the above. I haven't used the track feature so I can't say for sure about that. It will handle Geocaching and Vehicle navigation. It won't do paperless geocaching but it will get you to the cache (and back home).

I bought the Crossover in December for using as a multipurpose device.

It doesn't seem to work as well as to be expected for Geocaching ( in trail mode);

hence I just bought a Colorado 300 which so far works much better on the trail.

 

However loading caches as POI's into the Crossover alerts me to the presence

of a cache while I am driving and will route me to areas where caches are present.

 

In regards to the original question posted.

My opinion is as I saw another person state:

Buy a Street Nav and a handheld for Geocaching.

I have a map60 that can navigate to the cache on road or off road. But I do paper less caching with a pocket pc . I bought the pc for $65 from for sale section here . And then I bought a garmin IQUE 1620 $55 that slides into the top of the pocket pc to turns it into a street and city navigator . And it can also do off road . I can go back and forth from map to cache info on one device and use my handheld narrowing down cache hide.

Cheap way to do all things . I download the caches as waypoints onto the pocket pc in mapsouce and

off I go .
