+lee737 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm thinking about a GPSr for xmas, would be used for geocaching - I've had a little Garmin Geko 201 for some years, and just use my iPhone currently. I'm a definite gadget freak, so aren't after a bargain model, but also don't want the newest full-of-bugs one either.... Where should I be looking in terms of stability, happy to spend up to a grand if needed. I do like the size factor of the Magellan 710 - is it easy to integrate with geocaching.com? If given a choice with equal features would take buttons over touch screen, but aren't totally against touch screens.... Any opinions?? Lee Quote Link to comment
+BAMBOOZLE Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'll make my usual recommendation of the Garmin 62S. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Really.... YOU need to look at what is out there, the different options that YOU want and decide on your own. This is like asking "I want a car. I have no budget. I want it to do stuff and be reliable. What can you recommend?" Quote Link to comment
insig Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 $1000 will buy pretty much any consumer-grade GPSr out there. However, as BAMBOOZLE said, the 62s is a good choice -- especially if you can get it for around $200. Quote Link to comment
+Panther&Pine Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm rather fond of my new Oregon 650T. I bought it from REI so if I ever have issues with it, they'll make it right (so far I've had three replacement/upgrades courtesy of REI). It holds more caches than are currently active in the world, has a flashlight (camera as well), is fairly sturdy, accurate and so far stable for me. The only thing it doesn't do is Wherigo's. That GPS, GSAK, a Premium Membership and a paid Project-GC account have really made for some great/easy geocaching trips. Quote Link to comment
