GPS Help

I'm quite active in geocaching in the area - it's a great activity for the family!

Stick with Garmin units.  Take a look at their site at basic mapping handhelds.  I personally prefer something like the 60, 62, 76, or 78.  The 60 and 76 model lines are a few years old now - the 62/78 lines appear to be replacements for them.

Don't try geocaching, hiking, etc, with an auto GPS (such as a Nuvi).  While it technically works, you'll quickly be disappointed in trying to buy a one-size fits all.

Garmin 60CX or CSX. Easy to use, nice color screen.

That Pear Head is a 'quite active' geocacher is a bit of an understatement, I think.  *laugh*  I'd trust his advice.  

I have a Garmin HTC Vista (a few years old, now) that I cache with, and love to pieces.  Or I've tried to love to pieces - it's still holding together well.  Never used it in a car to navigate, but it is waterproof.

My first handheld was a Magellan, I bought a Garmin eTrex Legend about a year later and got the US topo maps for it.  I would highly recommend the Garmin products.

Shoot me an email. I have one for ya.
