Or step up to the Oregon 550t to add a built-in 3.2 MP geotagging camera and pre-loaded topo maps of the entire U.S. For a big touch-screen, great interface, I recommend the Garmin Oregon 450. There are several choices here each offers paperless geocaching. I often see this model o sale for as low as $135.Īnother good option is the recently introduced Garmin eTrex 20, which includes a ton of new features. The Magellan eXplorist GC (seen at left) is a recently introduced model that includes extensive highway maps and paperless caching. The eTrex 10 currently runs a little over $110. But alas, you can’t load any detailed maps to it. The eTrex 10 is Garmin’s new entry level unit with paperless geocaching capabilities, giving you the full cache description, recent logs and more, right on your handheld. By the way, all the units below have a high-sensitivity chipset for superior reception under canopy and in natural or urban canyons.
You may also find it helpful to check out my Garmin handheld GPS comparison chart. But how do you choose the right GPS for geocaching? I’ll narrow the field, look at choices in multiple price ranges, and delve into other uses, mapping software, etc. Geocaching is an extremely popular sport, and I’d venture to say that over 99% of geocachers use a GPS.
