+johnny2154 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I use a Garmin Nuvi 260 for Geocaching, Thinking about a Venture HC, How much more accurate are the handhelds than the Nuvi? Quote Link to comment
z3bum Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Garmin handhelds aren't really more accurate than a NUVI. But...NUVIs are not water resistant. Not even close! My Rino 530 could fall into a creek and be fine, but if the NUVI 360 I have got rain water on the screen for a long enough period of time, it would get damaged. So, if you are doing alot of geocaching in the wilderness in all climates, I would get one of the waterproof Garmins. I also have a Nokia N95 cell phone that works as a cache locator, but I am using it on nice days mainly in cities...

+doingitoldschool Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 My sister was using her nuvi 250 at the same time we were using an old Vista for geocaching last weekend. She was very disappointed with it as a caching device, but loves it in the car. Quote Link to comment
