I'm really interested in geocaching. (I've never done it before) I'm trying to see what kind of unit i need. geocaching.com reccommended Garmin eTrex GPS, and Magellan GPS 315. Do you think these would be good for beginners? Or do you think I should buy a more expensive unit?

I'm only 3 weeks into this hobby/sport and have nothing but high praise for the Mag 315 unit. It does everything you will need for geocaching. I would recommend it for starting off unless you have other requirements that would require a more expensive type. You should also get a power/data cable for PC downloads and for extended use in your car.(saves batteries)

Good Luck and happy caching, Bill

I have been using a Magellan 315 and have been happy with it. I saw an add for Fry's Electronics the other day. They had them for a very decent price. I think it included the data/power cable AND the Data Send CD. I don't think you will find the CD very helpful but the GPS and the cable alone was priced right. I have heard a lot of people happy with their Garmin too. You will find plenty of caches in the area!
