RenoRat Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 A Garmin 12XL has been my trusted companion for many treks into the Nevada desert over more years than I want to say.. [but a hint: I bought it brand new when they first came out]. I may update one day, but I'm not in any real hurry. Rat Quote
+Kabz Krewe Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 After being extremely disappointed with the inaccuracy of our Garmin eTrex (the basic eTrex), Santa brought us a new Vista C. Much better! No more jumping around 100 feet at a time like the old eTrex. I'm not too sure how anyone can recommend the eTrex to a new geocacher...what a piece of junk. We're very pleased with the Vista... Quote
Doug in Alaska Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Wife got a 60cs for me for Christmas and I love it!! Quote
+Windsocker Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I started off with the street pilot iii (which i still have ) Then when a friend got me into Geocaching i bought a Geko 201 i now also have a Etrex Vista C (santa was nice this year) there's not to many caches here in Ireland but i hope to add a few of my own soon Quote
+Texas Shadow Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 My first was a Garmin 45XL which I upgraded to a III+ and I just got my 76CS today (Its GREAT!) . I have also had a Delorme earthmate ( I fried it with the wrong power cord ) and a blue logger, but I sent the blue logger back and bought a CFQue 1620(Which is great also!) . Quote
+Ovair Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 eTrex Legend. 7 months as of this writing. Prior to that I had only used a PLGR. The Legend is much better and acquires its position much faster than the PLGR. I love it. Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Legend (Basic, yet used most for geocaching) Vista (Old and crotchety, but knows what it takes to get the job done right) 76cs (Still being pampered and used mainly for traveling, but that’ll change come winter with that external antenna) Just got the GPS V as a gift. Can't they ask first!? Edited January 4, 2005 by BlueDeuce Quote
+Bozz Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Garmin Legend, nice unit for the money! Ideal unit would be a 60CS -- just a dream for now! Bozz Quote
briancm Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Garmin Geko 201. Very nice for a budget unit, haven't had the need or motivation to get something better. Computer interface, simple functionality, envied by a friend with a Magellen. Quote
+Chichimus Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 12XL which still works fine Legend which I get issued a work and I also carry a map and a compass when off the beaten track. Nothing like being lost and knowing *exactly* where you are Quote
+G2K2 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 etrex summit, etrex legend, bought within 2months of each other, both great in there own way..............i "think" i need a 60cs Quote
+hardwire Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 My bonus went straight for the 60C, external antenna, car kit, city select, GPS case, FRS/GMRS, 2500mAh NiMH, 30min charger, and GeoVest... Quote
+2Wheel'in Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 GPSMap 60CS, 2 RINO 120s, eTrex Legend, Foretrex, Forerunner (gave away a GPS 12, GPS II+, and basic eTrex and sold 2 RINO 110s). Each is useful for an individual specific purpose, and they all get used 2 to 4 times a week. The 60CS is the oldest of the lot...I think I've had it for just over a year. Regards. Bill Quote
