What is a good, cheap GPS for both road navigation and geocaching?
Jones asked:
I recently got into geocaching with some friends, but I have also been considering getting a GPS for road navigation, since I plan on going on a couple of road trips this spring, and will be moving.

Anybody have some product suggestions? I’m looking for something that’d mount easily in my car; anything around the $100 range would be perfect, but I guess I can’t be picky.
You will find a good deal on a Garvin. Its good and its inexpensive. They are on sale now for around $120
i use a magellan titan for geocaching.. not really good for your car though, it wont give you directions or anything like that.. but it will help you geocache… its around $200
before you get one make sure it updates it self for new roads. cus some dont, like the garmins at walmart dont.
Get a Gamin. Every GPS at the source link is under $100.00. TomTom GPS are a great deal now too.
Personally if I where you and traveling I would get a LG Dare and add VZ Navigation to it when you travel. You can use it by the day or month and their is no contract so you can turn it off when your done traveling. Read about The Dare Phone here
I am suggestion Garmin Navigator GPS it a good quality or Tom Tom GPS.
1. Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
2. TomTom ONE XL 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Maps of the U.S. and Canada

First, virtually all GPS units designed for automotive use are unsuitable for geocaching. Second, your requirements, taken together, are mutually exclusive. I can suggest a good, cheap GPS for driving or a good cheap GPS for geocaching but I really don’t have a good, cheap GPS that does both. The cheap portion is where the problem comes in.
There are hand held units that are capable of routing and providing directions (although they usually don’t talk). I use my Garmin 60 CSx for caching and driving as well as for bicycle and motorcycle riding. Problem is that with the GPS itself, plus detailed maps, you are pushing $400. You might almost be better off buying a (relatively) inexpensive automotive GPS and a (relatively) inexpensive hand held. You could probably put together a pair for about $250 that would fit your needs.
