I think so! Been using one since March '08 and I love it.

 

The base map doesn't have routing information, so if you want to auto-route you'll need to add City Navigator or NT maps.

 

Get a good set of rechargeable batteries and upgrade to the latest firmware to gain the latest fixes/features.

 

Happy Caching!

Thanks Fegan. Yeah I don't care if the maps are high quality, just good enough to go caching.

Check out prices on Amazon.com. I searched for a long time before buying my new GPS and found they have the best prices over all.

I have enjoyed mine. I picked it up at BestBuy for $230 two months ago
