[+firemanjim903mfd]

I have a Garmin gps 60 now and I would like to upgrade to a new GPS and would like to go paperless . I want to stay with Garmin but I don't know which on is the best and the easiest to use ? Oregon , Dakota , the new cs 62 .

budge, GOOGLE, Groundspeak SEARCH.

 

oregon is touchless and harder to read

dakota is discontinued

62s is new and has bugs and squeaks and is wicked expensive.

 

i've had the 62s for a couple weeks after returning, i'll be looking for an oregon 440 or 550 in the right pricerange. never had touchless, but i've heard once you start using it, you won't go back.

 

and yes, paperless is the way to go.

FYI, Oregon 450 is on sale, beginning Friday, for $250 at REI.

I love my Oregon 450. I love having all my geocaching and hunting info in one small unit.

...dakota is discontinued

 

Really??!? When did this happen??

The Dakota series has not been discontinued.

oregon is touchless and harder to read [200/300/400 difficult, 450 new 550 vastly improved]

dakota is discontinued [NOT! - and still getting nice software upgrades]

62s is new and has bugs and squeaks and is wicked expensive. [ALL Garmin firmware starts out with bugs, and we all wait until they get them sorted out. Nothing new here.]

I've been looking to buy my first real GPSr for a while. Does this do good for driving directions also? That's what I really want is a GPS that's good for driving as well as geocaching..

You would need to add City Navigator maps (or Garmin's regional 24K series topos, which include CN maps). There are some free options, but they won't be as good.

Thanks, I'm thinking about jumping on this one since it's on sale for $250 at REI right now. Please speek up and help a noob out if anyone thinks I'm making a bad decision...
