Geowls Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Newbie to geocaching and found my first cache the other day with a little difficulty. With light tree cover it was telling me that I had poor GPs coverage. Will the new Garmin E-Trex, Venture, or Legend operate better under current conditions. Should I upgrade to a better model? What would one recommend beween these 3 models? What would one recommend for a 11 year old son? Thanks for your input from one who is intrigued by GEOCACHING----------Geowls Quote Link to comment
HMF4 Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 I have the Garmin 38 and upgraded to the eTrex Venture. I highly recommend it. For an eleven yr old - I'm sure the basic eTrex will be fine. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+memnosine Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hi; I have a old ($300!) Garmin 38 and a two week old etrex. They give me the same results in a clear location; in difficult terrain the 38 loses track first, and often. And the 38 takes at least three times as long to get lock, as it is a single channel switched machine. Go for the etrex. Quote Link to comment
