+sapboiler Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Just started found our 1st cache today didnt find 2nd but will try again I have an old magellan sportrak 2002 edition looking at dakota 10 or out and back any opinions?

+briansnat Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Your Sportrak will work. It was known for the "boomerang effect" where it would send you well past the cache, then point back the other way. If you come to a stop periodically as you approach the cache you can reduce this problem. Oregon is a great unit. It will certainly be an improvement over the Sportrak Quote Link to comment
+WauloK Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Welcome to the wild and wacky world of Geocaching! I hope you get many FTF's and not too many DNF's I think there's a glossary around somewhere... heh. Quote Link to comment
+dexter-cacher Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 welcome to the game er addiction. Ref the gpsR...read up on the different sites and here in the forums. You will find lots of advice and even more "opinions" as every cacher owns the best unit on the market no matter who they are and what they own..!! Oregon is a good unit and some cachers I know use it and love it Quote Link to comment
+jbar Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Congrat's on the first find. We managed to get out and find 7 today with one DNF. Had to sneak in a few caches before the snow storm. Welcome to the obsession. Quote Link to comment
