+WalkingsFun Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 What GPS do you suggest to buy for the best geocaching, that is pretty true to the coordinates? Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Any current (made in the last 10 years) will get you to the coordinates. Best accuracy for consumer-grade units is 10 meters (30 feet). If you have a smartphone, the gps in it may do the same, depending on the phone (some have better antenna than others, so they may vary in accuracy). I use an Oregon 450 from Garmin and a Samsung Galaxy S5 and have seen zero difference in accuracy between the two, whether in town or in back-country-no-cell-service areas. I'm sure others will have varying opinions. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Go caching first, buy stuff later. Your phone should work just fine to start. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I found my first 180 caches without a phone or GPS. Took printouts (on waste paper) and checked the ground, etc for clues to follow when I reached the area. It also taught me to stand back and look for likely places. 1 Quote Link to comment
