Which older/used cheap gps should i buy?

[hrsn]

Hi guys.

 

Im all new to geocaching, but i think it sound very exiting.

Thats why im looking for an older or used GPS.

But what should i buy ?

 

I would like very much, that it was able to measure the distance i have walked.

Is it worth looking for a model with compas ?

And how about maps, are they worth anything, or should i go for a model without ?

 

Currently im looking for an used Etrex or a GPSmap, but which models of theese two should i choose ?

 

Best regards and thanks

I love my Garmin Colorado 400t! It should be cheap by now.

I'd get a Magellan Meridian Platinum or Garmin 60 CSx.

The 60csx is an amazing GPS. My key requirement would be make sure you get one with expandable memory so you can have lots of maps.

I actually have the Meridian Gold and the 60csx

 

I like both and both are really accurate

but the 602csx it in color and has USB connectivity

 

with my Magellan Meridian Gold I have to use a USB cable and Easygps software to transfer to my GPS

 

so I recommend either, the Gold has 1 really "rugged" or "outdoors" advantage, it is suppose to float

 

I know the 60csx had many more features, but for geocaching (except for the geocaching app the 60csx has) they are about the same (almost)

 

I picked up my 60csx for $150 last week...wahooo

I pick up a basic Garmin etrex for £40. from ebay. Works a treat. When I come to upgrade I know I will be able to re-sell for about what I paid for it.

My advice buy a cheap one until you are sure the hobby is for you.
