What is a good handheld GPS unit for Geocaching?
Jacob asked:
Doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just planning on using it for Geocaching. Looking for something *A little* nicer than my current GPS unit, a Garmin eTrex Venture, possibly a color screen.

The Garmin 60csx is a very good unit for geocaching. You can bet very detailed maps for it, it has good sensitivity and is accurate. It’s not a cheap one. wires

2.Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS Receiver :
# High-Sensitivity, WAAS-Enabled GPS Receiver Provides Peak Performance In Any Environment

3.DeLorme Earthmate PN-40

if you want anything nicer than a garmin or tomtom or anything else then might take a look at the new primo newelectronx gps. i just downloaded my update and installed it – boy, i thought amigo and igo were great, wait until you experience this. i would actually recommend just buying the newelectronx primo version. you can ask them about it because i dont see it listed. it might just be a feature for customers.
the geocaching features are out this world… you’ll be the geocaching HERO with this one. haha. any ways, thats my 2 cents on the subject. Jhonny
