Hi,
I've convinced a friend to take up geocaching, and she wants a
recommendation on what GPS to buy.
I use and like the garmin etrex, which is now $99 at walmart (wow!).
However, I have to plug the numbers in manually (I don't have the cable, and
I think the cable goes to a nine pin serial port, which is not available on
most modern computers anyway).
The new COLORADO looks awesome, like it was specifically designed for
caching. But the price ($500++) is prohibitive.
Does anyone out there in the kag group have a suggestion for a decent GPS
which comes with a USB cable, and maybe holds/displays the cache info as
well as the coords? Price is important. Base map would be nice, but not
neccessary. I love the NUVI line, but it doesn't do distance/bearing, so is
no good for caching at all.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Happy New Year,
Dave (hamburking)
