Aquawolf777 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm trying to buy a GPS but i'm not sure what kind to get. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't spend to much though so please don't suggest two, three hundred dollar units. Please and thank you! Quote Link to comment
+teamhaynes Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wrong subforum to post this question in... Try posting in the Getting Started Forum. Although a basic etrex works quite well. Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Try looking through the GPS Garage Sale I noticed (just today) a Garmin eTrex H for $50, shipped. Quote Link to comment
+TreasureAllens Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Most of these members have more experience than we do but ... if you have a smartphone you could probably get a GPS app fairly cheap. I know a lot of people use them for Geocaching. Quote Link to comment

I know a lot of people use them for Geocaching. Correct, at the moment I'm using my Galaxy S2 (Android) with a couple of good free apps until I decide on a dedicated GPS unit. So far it has got me within 1 metre of every cache I've found. Admittedly I've only found 11 so far but still, not bad going IMHO. Quote Link to comment
