+Devoir Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm buying the new external XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for my Girl tonight. Thought it might be a nice addition to her Valentines Day gift. She already owns a Oregon 550t and I must say it does a good job or should I say a great job as a paperless device. I recently bought her an IPad2 WiFi only. She just loves the way it works, most importantly the large screen format, we have been using it with the Geocaching APP when we travel to see the descriptions or hints if we're stuck, then use the Oregon 550t to find the exact location. I thought I would come back and post an update after we test drive it. I chose the XGPS150 because she's not very savvy on the Jail Brak'n and I've tried the RoqyBt with the iTouch 2nd Gen the app was decent but can be aggravating to re-sync a GPS device. I wanted a device to work as simply and reliably as her IPad 2. Currently Own and use the following devices XGPS150 this Feb 11 Itouch 3rd gen IPad 2 Oregon 550t Nuvi260w Quote Link to comment

I really like how easily the XGPS150 integrates with the iPad2, but I wish the apps were a little better. I really like iPlunder HD for the true paperless geocaching experience...except you can't download maps for offline use, so you need a 3G connection to see the maps. (some maps can be cached, but you don't know for sure which ones) If this one allowed you to download maps for offline use, it would be perfect. I also really like MotionX HD for the great offline maps. It allows you to import GPX files (but the current limit is 505 caches) and you don't get the full cache page...just 2 lines...so I use the cache name (Terr/dif) in line 1 and Hint in line 2 I'm also looking at GaiaGPS and Galileo, but they're also primarily about mapping and using GPX files for tracks, not caches. Let me know how it goes for you guys... Edited February 7, 2012 by Triple Crown Quote Link to comment
+Triple Crown Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 New App! Geo Bucket 2.0 just came out today. It works really well with the iPad2(wifi only) & XGPS150. So far it's my favorite caching app. Quote Link to comment
