kalaululani Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 HI there, My daughter accidentily found a cache and now we are hooked. We have found a few caches by the hints provided but are ready to buy a GPS. Which one would you recommend to a family with kids ages 8-14. I would like it to be waterproof because we live by the ocean but other than that I have no idea what we are looking for. Quote Link to comment

A good basic unit, with more than all of the features that you need would be either the Garmin Venture HC or the Garmin Summit HC. Anything more than that would be for features that are not essential to caching. You could also consider the Garmin eTrex H. But, the cable is an extra and it will only work with a computer that has a serial port or if you also purchase an adapter and, by the time you pay for the unit, the cable and the adapter, you will have spend about the same as you would for the Venture HC and that unit comes with a USB cable. Based on my own experience, I would stick with something in the Garmin line. I have been very satisfied with the units that I have purchased and satisfied with their commitment to customer service.

+Lasagna Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I agree, a Venture HC or Summit HC would be good units to start out with. Quote Link to comment
