Don't have any of those units, but from what I read, either the Oregon or the PN-40. The PN-40 currently has a limitation of 800 characters description that is supposed to be fixed in a firmware release. I use a Palm with Cachemate. Much cheaper but not as convenient.

+entogeek Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I guess it's time for a Magellan user to speak up! Recently got the Triton 2000 and aside from the dim backlight and having to transfer geocaches to it via Vantage Point, this is a great unit for paperless. Quote Link to comment

The PN-40 currently has a limitation of 800 characters description that is supposed to be fixed in a firmware release. Which is already released (public beta). Use Send to GPS from gc.com and your limit is 15,000 characters. Quote Link to comment
+dakboy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I use Mac's so the Garmin is better for me The PN- 40 needs windows For various definitions of "needs". Do you need Windows to cut & download maps in Topo7? Yes, it's Windows-only. Do you need Windows to send caches to the GPS from gc.com? No, the browser plugin works on MacOS & Windows. Do you need Windows to load the maps on the T7 DVDs onto the PN-40? No, they're just straight file copies. Quote Link to comment

+lotsawags Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have a garmin Nuvi 500. So far, in my limited caching experience, it has worked great. It downloads all the hints, descriptions and logs. No other software is needed. Files download quick off of the geocaching website. So far, accuracy has been just as good as anyone elses. I have no major complaints with it, AND it serves as a car nav unit too! Quote Link to comment
