Starting to look for GPS Device

[+stedmanrecon]

So, I am starting to look to buy a GPS device to go geocaching.. FIgured I would start this thread and kind of keep it running with particular questions that I have till I hopefully figure out what I want and go get it. I have to admit, the other threads that I have come across so far, and the GPS device section in the Groundspeak store really wasn't too much help for me to find the unit that I would want and could use at my level and for going forward.

 

So, first question... So, assume that I am in Cabela's or some other outfitter store and in the section of GPSs. Should I be taking a look at just hiking GPSs, or should I be looking for GPSs that have some sort of feature on the box that boasts about its geocaching ability?

Most GPS units seem to have paperless geocaching capabilities, apart from marine specific units. One which mentions paperless caching is a positive....it will make your life a lot easier!

For Garmin products go here, https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=145 and check the boxes for the options you want. I am sure that other manufactures have a similiar search function on their web sites. Good luck.
