Want To Buy Gps Unit For Newbie Cacher


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

 

I'm brand new to Geocaching, but have found my first two caches with out a GPS... Probably Dumb luck! :blink: I am looking to buy a used GPs unit. From what I can tell it being WAAS enabled is important. Please e-mail me if you have anything for sale. patrick@fairwaybr.com

 

Thanks,

Just my opinion, but I have had 6 GPS units in the last four months...And found 25 Caches without WAAS. So you have to decide...The CEP (Circular Error Probability) is usually 13-20 feet...With clues, I can usually find most caches. I have a yellow ETREX that I wm looking to sell. It has a DATA CABLE/12 VOLT CIG Adapter (combo Cable), a Neopreme Case with Clear viewing window (so you can use the unit while the case is on), and the original manual.

I purchased the GPSr for $80, the Cable for $15, and the Case for $15. I am looking to get $75.00 Shipped. This is a great beginners GPS. Using EasyGPS and GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) software (free on the Internet) you can upload/download Waypoints. The Cheapest WAAS GPS units run about $100-130. and you need the software for the mapping part. So consider this unit. Let me know if you are interested.

If WAAS is important to you check out the foretrex 101. New its $125, the foretrex 201 is a really good deal at $140 considering it includes the data cable and rechargeable battery.
