+MusicalSleep Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm starting to become an avid geocacher, and i understand the 60csx isn't paperless but i have something for that. And my friend's garmin is something I warmed up to but he wouldn't part with it if his life depended on it. 11 founds and havent used a gps yet. I'm 16 and really want this to become a long term fun hobby. Quote Link to comment

+MusicalSleep Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 is the 76 paperless? i may want to consider this one, im looking for something a hair cheaper though, and I don't want to trust ebay. Quote Link to comment
+Klatch Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 is the 76 paperless? <snip> No. Go to this Garmin web site where you can select the features you want and compare the various models. Quote Link to comment
+MusicalSleep Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) The 76 seems to be the better option at the moment. I'm looking for something with the following: _+10 battery life _Uses Batteries _Compass _Preferably External Antenna _ USB / SD input for info And the rough price im willing to pay for would be around $200-$250 any suggestions?

With the high sensitivity receiver in my 76CSx I have never needed the external antenna I purchased for my last generation 76CS. Quote Link to comment

+Sigfamily Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I have a 60CSX and it is paperless on geocaching.com. You just have to install the Garmin Communicator and let geocahing.com recognize it. It is way cool and sends caches to the 60 CSX effortlessly... I'm starting to become an avid geocacher, and i understand the 60csx isn't paperless but i have something for that. And my friend's garmin is something I warmed up to but he wouldn't part with it if his life depended on it. 11 founds and havent used a gps yet.

It does not hold the hint's, the last 5 logs, the "full" cache description, nor enable you to post field notes. The CSX can, via POI, have some of this info added to it but it is not a true paperless GPS. I also own one and utilize a PDA or my iPhone to store the cache information. Quote Link to comment

+MusicalSleep Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I believe im just going to go with the Dakota 20, now that i made some more money because of a huge pick-up at work, the dakota is more what i want so i figured i'd save for it Quote Link to comment
+Fuzzywhip Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 A local WalMart has the 60CX as a Rollback at $228 (with USB cable) I have been using a eTrex Legend for 3 years, so I jumped at the chance and now I'm very happy! Quote Link to comment
