jarsinterp Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I am new to geocaching. I have been looking at some GPS units and have about got one picked out. I have placed one on layaway. It is the Lowarance I-finder. I was wondering if anyone uses it and could tell me if it is a good unit. If not do you have any pointers on finding one. Thanks Link to comment

cool_and_the_gang Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Just about any good quality GPSr will do for caching even if it doesn't have many bells and whisltes. I did not end up with the I-finder (I found a great deal on a Magellan unit for about the same price.) and my research ended without me coming to know much about it. My criteria in searching for a unit were being able to mark and save a good number of waypoints and a "go to" function. If you think you might use it for something besides Geocaching or you think you might do more than casual Geocaching you might consider investing in one that is upgradeable or that has some extra features such as mapping, PC interface etc. even if you don't use them at first. Some of the real basic models don't support upgrading. I wish you peaceful, safe and fun Geocaching adventures. Link to comment
