gtown4 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I am just planning on caching locally and just for fun. I only have around $100 to spend on this and is there any kind of GPS that is good in this price range? Quote Link to comment
+luckybobb Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Our first GPS was a magellan explorist 100 that cost us about $95 at DICKS and you could probably get one cheaper now. We had over 100 finds with it before upgrading, and to this day the wife loves using her Maggie when we go out caching Quote Link to comment
gtown4 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Ok thank you soo much. This looks perfect for what I am looking for. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment
+sportside Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Garmin Etrex Venture HC at Amazon... just a hair over your target. You can get the Etrex H for under $100, but the small increase in price is worth it for the HC, IMO... The USB interface and basemap is worth it to me... Quote Link to comment

I would totally go with a garmin because people are making custom maps for the Garmin which means you could get more detail for free. And get the H, for high sensitivity receiver. Its worth any extra. Quote Link to comment
+sportside Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 And get the H, for high sensitivity receiver. Its worth any extra. Both models I listed have a high sensitivity receiver... but the HC adds a basemap, USB interface, built in memory, and a colorscreen. It also is set up for GPS games and Geocaching. For $20, I'd get the HC... Quote Link to comment
