fidrat Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hello everyone, I am new to geocaching and i would like like to perchase a gps unit; there are so many brands that I'm not sure what to buy. I want to do geocaching but i would like to use it in my car if possible. For my budget I'm looking for a Garmin etrex HCX or a Magellan Triton 500 or else ?? Thank you for your advise Quote Link to comment

+Jeep4two Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Try thinking hard about how you will use your unit. Then prioritize features that you want. Post back with those (along with budget) and you'll get some excellent advice. Based on your budget - I'm probably with SkellyCA right now. To me paperless is very valuable when it comes to enhancing the sport of geocaching. I'm brand loyal to Garmin (been happy with all Garmin units I've owned/used). If you can extend your budget a bit you'll get in the range of the Colorado 400 or 300 series, another $50 and after rebate with the REI special right now you can get an Oregon ($350 net). Best of luck. Quote Link to comment
