+Hank30721 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment
+jindi kid Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Good good is it very accurate though Quote Link to comment
+Hank30721 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
+jindi kid Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks 4 your help i will look more into the pn-60 now Quote Link to comment
+kywaterfowler Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have an Oregon 450 and performs great in the woods. I use it for geocaching as well as marking hunting locations. Quote Link to comment
+jindi kid Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 ow much is an oregon Quote Link to comment
+kywaterfowler Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Amazon has it listed for $344. But you might be able to find it cheaper some where else. Quote Link to comment
+sojourners7 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment

+Hank30721 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I found a well priced pn-60 and it has great reviews apparently, 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 Quote Link to comment

+Map Monkey Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 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. mm Quote Link to comment
+jindi kid Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 mmm, i just relised and i am looking at an oregon now Quote Link to comment
+Map Monkey Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 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. mm Quote Link to comment
