Try the geocaching forum. I looked at the Geko. Sure is small, I'd probably lose it. They are very basic, the screen is tiny with poor resolution. The power button is too easily accidentally turned on wasting the AAA batteries. Those that use them seem to like them for what they are and claim they get better reception than some while under cover.

I just got a gecko 101 for christmas. Just love the little thang. This is my first GPS unit and will be used solely for the purpose of marking and back-trailing while hunting, backpacking etc. I know it cant do what the others can in terms of downloads, maps etc but for what I need it for there was no purpose in spending more for something I wont use. So far, so good. Beats the heck outta using a compass when you cant see more than 40ft ahead in a thick swamp while driving deer.
