Hi alot depends upon what you wish to do.

As a basic unit to start with the GC model is great it lets you load as much as you wish. Shows enough detail of each

 

cache page that there is not much left out. Only draw back is they don't contain detail maps.

 

I use an incar nav device to get to the general area and use my Magella GC to hunt down the accual cache.

 

I also own a 510 but really use it only for those much longer hikes where I need much more deatil.

 

 

Found the GC and 110 to be very user freindly.

 

JABs.

It really depends how technical you are.

Magellan GC is simple and although I don't use it, my caching companion, Slaytornator does. He is very untechnical and finds it to be great.

I am personally more technical and prefer Garmin's as they are slightly more powerful IMHO

I'd suggest the GC if only for caching therefore

I spoke with one of the Magellan marketing people back in June and he said that the GC is, as the name suggests, built for geocaching. The 110 is more for hiking. Go with the GC. Here's a review I did about 18 mths ago. http://darrenosborne.com/2010/05/18/magellan-explorist-gc/

 

At around $180, it's worth the money.

Which unit is better? We won a Magellan GC and don't like it at all - a Garmin would be our preference.
