Well I have to say... I was very... closed minded when I first heard about
Geocaching and the fun factor of it, BUT after spending Sunday with
from-left-field and
missus-geek we had a blast with it! So much fun in fact that we are now looking into a GPS Unit to purchase so we can play and also introduce my family to it as I know my little sister and mother would enjoy it since we are all outside people.
While I have absolutely zero knowledge of GPS units, I have been reading up on them today some at work. I was referred to go with either Magellan or Garmin for the brand of GPS. So I have tracked down a few GPS models that are within the cost I am willing to spend that fit a few features that I have read are either necessary or just very nice to have.
Garmin eTrex Venture $140.00
Garmin eTrex Legend GPS $170.00
Garmin GPS 60 $179.95
Magellan eXplorist 210 GPS $179.95 (This is the one I believe to be the best deal for the dollar)
Magellan eXplorist 300 GPS $199.00
So if anyone has any reviews or input on any of these devices please let me know.
