I was curious too, a while ago. Here was my thread. I was really surprised with all the replies!

 

The other GPS type thread.

 

I now use a Meridian Gold, but I still have my SporTrak Map.

Have a regular Garmin 76 that i had been using for the last year or so, but for Christmas Santa brought me a new 76s. Well wouldnt ya know it, while hiding a cache i left it on the bedrail of the truck and of course it was never to be seen again !!! Loved it so much that i saved up enough to get another off Ebay!!!

Garmin 110's and 120's.

Garmin 72. It works well. But after borrowing my neighbors Garmin 76 Map, I will be purchasing an additional Garmin GPSMap 76C or CS when they are available. I want the mapping functions!

It sucks for geocaching

I use an AmbiCom's GPS Navigation Receiver CompactFlash Card in my iPaq 36xx with GPS software that I've written.

Magellan SporTrac Pro, but on Sunday I couldn't find it so I used the Handspring Visor with a Magellan GPS Companion. Both work very well.

Garmin Etrex Legend...My four year old Magellan Color Trax up and died on me,so...Garmin it is.

What gps's I own:

 

First and about 5 years old now is my Lowrance Global Map 100

 

Second was my Garmin GPS V

 

Third was the Magellan Meridian Platinum

 

Fourth is my Garmin StreetPilot 2610

 

I use the 2610 everyday for caching, work and life and the V for caching.

 

I think my next gps is going to be the Garmin 76cs or 60cs, I'm waiting for a friend to get his 60cs first to decide.

I started off in June 2002 by purchasing a Garmin V. I figured, why have to upgrade later from a basic unit, so I bought the best I could find. I didn't even start using the mapping and autorouting features until more than a year later! I have been very happy with my V.

 

But recently, for reasons explained on the cache page for The Elves are Easily Bribed, The Leprechauns are now a bilingual team since we now own a Magellan SporTrak Color. I am just learning how to use it. Having a second GPS will help when introducing someone new to geocaching, storing more waypoints on long trips without reloading, using two GPSr's on the same hunt with my daughter along with me, etc. I am also thinking that I might switch to using the Garmin V for the car, taking advantage of its autorouting and maps, and using the SporTrak Color in the field, as it has a built-in electronic compass and I can avoid the unplug-unmount-find cache- mount-plug in routine.

 

I would be interested in reading how other owners of multiple GPSr's use their different units for different specialized purposes.

MeriColor with DirectRoute. On the road and in the woods.

Gotta' go with Garmin. Heck I live in same community as their World Headquarters down the street!

 

Garmin V for map routing along streets/highways and use Garmin etrex Legend for the trail. Love both units. Been thinking about the 60c or 76c
