What is the best GPS for Geocaching?
Answers: Make sure you find a unit that can connect next to the computer. The eXplorist 100, 200, and 300 will not. The eXplorist 210 is the cheapest eXplorist that connects to the PC using a supplied USB cable. The older eTrex unit use a serial cable, so you may have to capture a USB-to-serial adapter. Also, that serial cable has to be purchased separately.
The eXplorists hold superior reception compared to the old eTrex unit but the new eTrex H should act as well as the eXplorist.
You should try holding respectively unit contained by your hand. Go to a sporting stock store and see how each part feels. That could bring to a close up as the deciding factor. A component could have great features, but if it is knotty to push the buttons or likes to drop out of your hand, what fitting is it?
In summary, for your budget the eXplorist 210 is the only one you can look at. It is fully-featured and you can nouns the optional DirectRoute map to get turn-by-turn directions, but it individual has 22MB of memory. The eTrex H is a existing basic component that does little more than display coordinates and tell you distance/direction to a point of interest. Skip the blue eTrex Legend and any monochrome eyeshade eTrex except the eTrex H. They're old technology. If you are prepared to spend more money, take a look at the eTrex Legend HCx or the eXplorist 500LE (if you stir for the 500, get the lithium ion battery).
I also suggest going to the Groundspeak GPS forum where on earth many educated geocachers hang out.
It comes down to personal nouns, I've used both and have an Explorist. I prefer the Explorist. Although Magellan's Tech Support is horrible!
