GPS-Shopping suggestions, please

[TexasbornDutchman]

GREETINGS! my fellow Geocashers,

I'm shopping for a good / reliable GPS machine for my personal use.

Brousing in my regional Sporting shops, Electronic shops, Retail outlets, Shopping malls, Online, etc. I am even more unsure of what I need for the price I want to pay.

%Should my shopping efforts be focused on FEATURES, OPTIONS, or please suggest styles for my beginning Geocashing energies.

Please reply with suggestions of PRICE-RANGE I should aim to pay for my first (pocket) GPS machine.

Thnks for feedback.

That is a really broad question. Maybe it might be best to tell about how you are going to cache. A few here or there or maybe 50-100 on an average weekend? What do you want to spend?

I have no idea WHAT / HOW / WHERE are options for me to cache.

I'm an absolute NEWBIE to this, so I'm "fishing" for ideas before anyone closes options I might disclose by providing too much info.

 

For a BALLPARK price-range, how about $100 for a STARTUP unit? Is this too much or too less for a unit with features?

Bass Pro has the Oregon 200 on sale for 224.00 I believe. I found my good deal off of this board. Just reading and I found a fantasic buy on an Oregon 400T.
