+cpdsgtal Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I am looking to purchase a handheld GPS which I can download the pages from the geocaching website. Hoping this will eliminate having to print out each page. I don't want the top or bottom model, but somewhere in the middle. What do you think? Quote Link to comment
+Hrethgir Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 DeLorme Earthmate PN-20, -30, or -40. Garmin Oregon. Those are the most popular units that can do the paperless caching. I have a DeLorme PN-40 and I love it. Quote Link to comment
NordicMan Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The new Lowrance Endura's have paperless caching ability too. http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Outdoors Quote Link to comment
+Jeep4two Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'll 2nd the recommendation for the Oregon. The middle line is the Oregon 200 or 300. Check the Garage Sale forum here and you might see one used at a good price. The PN series units are also highly prized. If you currently own a particular brand, you might be more well service sticking with that brand for ease of transition. If not you just need to do your research, find the best price point and feature set that fits you budget and needs and pull the trigger. The Oregon and PN series units both perform well as Geocaching (and other uses too) units. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Garmin: Oregon/Colorado/Dakota and Nuvi 500 Series. Delorme: PN Series Lowrance: Endura Series I own a Colorado 300 and an Oregon 200 and a Lowrance Endura Out&back. I am still evaluating the Lowrance but I give slight edge to the Colorado over the others just because it performs better in tough conditions. Quote Link to comment
+twolpert Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Colorado and Oregon paperless features are very similar. If price is an issue, it may be easier to find sale prices on the Colorado, which is a somewhat older line. However, the RockNRoller (wheel input device) on the Colorado is an acquired taste.
