+lightnsound Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Vista is primary unit. I love the magnetic compass. Pair of Rino 120s for me and the misses. eTrex yellow as backup. Vista is hooked to laptop running DeLorme Streets for driving to cache loc. I am not addicted to geocaching, really. Quote Link to comment
cdawg Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 StreetPilot III, but I want a Geko 201 cause of the neat game that is built in. Cdawg Quote Link to comment
+drat19 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Garmin GPS V. I swear by it. The auto-routing is about 90-95% accurate (every now and again I get betrayed by maps vs. actual, but not often), and saves me TONS of time finding the right road when I don't know the area. And in the field, when placing a cache, the "Average Location" function gives me spot on results for other finders...I usually let it take 100-200 automatic readings (more if heavy tree canopy) to derive a good set of coords. I also have a Garmin eTrex Vista as my "backup" unit, and for any newbie caching companions I might bring with me. -Dave R. in Biloxi, MS Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 eTrex Legend and a GPS III as back-up under heavy tree cover. John Age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. Quote Link to comment
flatpickd35 Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Sportrak Pro tho a Garmin Etrex is looming in my future. steve Quote Link to comment
Team Geo Treker Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 etrex Legend. I didn't do any research, I just pointed at one in the display case. I now have all the accessories for etrex so I don't want to change brands. I might get a GPSr for my pocketPC, any suggestions? -BrianF Quote Link to comment
+Searching_ut Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 eTrex Legend as primary unit for handheld use. GIII+ as NMEA data provider for Dell Axim Pocket PC running mapopolis navigator software. It's also the unit that sits on the dash of my boat for inland lake use. Sportrak map as the backup unit while hiking or caching. Quote Link to comment
+BigJon Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Sportrak Pro. I also use a Garmin Map76 at work both are great, but the Sportrak is my primary. Quote Link to comment

+ESFKids Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Garmin GPS V, 76 and a Magellan Pioneer... and for info a HP jornada 545 and a Jornada 720 Quote Link to comment
+Bcre8iv Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I use a Magellan Sportrak pro for geocaching. For the car I have a Dell Axim using the Pharos gps card. Both work great, can't compare to any others b/c I never used any others. What I am looking for now is what mapping software to purchase for the Dell axim. Looks like Mapopolis is the best bet... still not ready to shell out a hundred bucks just yet. Quote Link to comment
