+grateful cacher Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My brother showed me the joys of geocaching, and now I'm considering a GPS purchase, and am wondering which is the best use of money and resouces. Is it better to get an Oregon 400t which has topo maps preloaded, or is it better to get the Oregon 300 and TOPO 100k DVD, and load them myself. I'm planning on geocaching on in both metro and country settings, and want the most accurate mapping details in both settings? Any advice/input/suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I'm leaning towards the 300 and the getting the maps as I need them. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) With the DVD you can load the maps to your PC and use them to create routes or trail maps. I'd go for that option. Edited April 10, 2009 by briansnat Quote Link to comment

That's what I figured as well. I have heard that you can download the preloaded maps onto a card or PC, but it is not that easy. I ordered the Oregon 300 off of Amazon, it's $399 w/$50 rebate. Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. Rich Quote Link to comment
