Js'Dad Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 My kids (pre-teens) want to get into geocaching and we are looking for something simple and less than $150. We don't need color and will be driving to whatever spot and doing minimal hiking. Already have an old tomtom for the car and I have taught them to read road maps so mapping really isn't that important. The Etrex 10 and 72 H seem to be about what we are looking for. Would one be better than the other? Is there something else that would be better? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+anarcha77 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Between the two I would definitely say eTrex 10 -- it can save far more waypoints, has better battery life, is equally water resistant, and is compatible with paperless geocaching. I used the eTrex 10 for maybe the first year I cached, and it served me well. I did end up upgrading for the eTrex 20 for maps though, and have found that really helpful - for ex. knowing which side of a river a cache is on before approaching from the wrong side.
