GPS Recommendation For Geocaching
« on: November 18, 2009, 08:08:55 AM »
Hello:  I am asking this question for a friend who is interested in trying geocaching.  He would like some recommendations on a reasonably-priced GPS model that will serve him well for this hobby.  Any recommended websites for purchasing one would also be appreciated. TIA.

The Garmin GPS60CSx is a favorite with geocachers, and it appears that Walmart.com has the best price at this time.
You can save about $75.00 by buying one of the eTrex HCx series. You can explore the links provided for prices.

There is a learning process to effectively using a gps.  Do not throw your compass and map away!

I have to agree 100% with Siskiyou on the Garmin 60csx. Great unit. If your friend gets into it geocaching heavy and is thinking of paperless caching, Go for the Oregon 300. I have both and the they are both equally accurate. Since I bought the Oregon my 60csx is just used as a back up or a loaner. Funny most of the others I cache with use 60csx's, but when we get stumped who do they come to, me and the Oregon for the description, hints, and past logs. Like I said they are both great units just comes down how much he wants to spend or how advanced a unit he wants.

Good Luck

Happy Caching :)
