+ayrbrain Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have had my trusty secondhand etrex for just over a year now, it has been fantastic for me starting out on geocaching. It is now starting to sometimes loose it's little spring where the batteries go, so far i have managed to spot it once it lands as it pings out of the back! So i am thinking of a new one, but I have no idea what to buy. Maybe one that shows a map, but as i am in no way a "techi" nothing too complicated but maybe something up from the one I have. I would welcome any ideas/help many thanks Quote Link to comment
