What Gps's accept pocket queries and allow you to run paperless geocaching, but is still good under trees and finds satellites fast

I have a Delorme PN-60. It does paperless caching really well - holding, hints, logs, etc. It acquires satellites usually in less than 10secs. As far as working well under trees, it has never lost reception or had any weird behavior (that I didn't cause ).

 

It comes with a a powerful map package including topographic maps of North America. It's great for hiking also!

Good good is it very accurate though

I have several GPSr's that perform quite well including the Garmin 60/76Csx. It performs as well or better than those. As the Garmin units have, the Delorme PN-60 uses Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) to improve accuracy. It also has a proprietary filter to improve interpretation of satellite data.

Thanks 4 your help i will look more into the pn-60 now

I have an Oregon 450 and performs great in the woods. I use it for geocaching as well as marking hunting locations.

[+jindi kid]

ow much is an oregon

[+kywaterfowler]

Amazon has it listed for $344. But you might be able to find it cheaper some where else.

I have a Oregon 450 also. It only comes with base maps. If you want the maps you need to get the Oregon 450T, which costs about a hundred dollars more. Or you can hunt around for a deal on maps, which is what I'm doing.

It's all in the box, nothing else to buy.

Shop around. Cabelas, Bass Pro Shop, The GPS Store, Tiger GPS, Amazon, REI, Sportsmans Warehouse, etc.

 

There are some cool videos showing some PN-60's in action on Delorme's website...www.delorme.com

sweet, thanks i think i will save for a pn-60

[+sduck]

Have you heard about this thing called google?

[+jindi kid]

What is that ment 2 mean

[+Map Monkey]

Hey JK,

 

Just a heads up....the PN60 is primarily a GPS customised for the USA with mapping of their area available only. I don't know of any Aussies with one and as such I believe you may struggle with its features. A nice GPS, just not what i believe you really need based on limited information.

 

Find some locals (aussie cachers) in your area and ask them to show you their GPS working in the field, as it is dangerous to use the internet alone to make your first purchase in some cases....seen it often, just helping out a newbie.

 

I would have replied earlier, however your subject heading was misleading and may have scared away other helpful replies.

mmm, i just relised and i am looking at an oregon now

[+Map Monkey]

For a cheaper, yet quite acceptable model, try the Garmin Dakota 10 (or the slightly upgraded 20). They are the smaller cousins of the Oregon series and work just as well in most cases.
