Thanks for all the responses. First, I've been playing around on "geocache.com" and can't believe how many people get into this activity. I live in a town of 1900 folks and there are over 50 caches within 20 miles of me. Unbelievable!!! Without a unit, I can sorta figure one is at the Court House....somewhere??? After exhaustive(?) research on a bunch of different websites, we decided on the Garmin Colorado 300. Among other things, it has paperless notes and electronic compass which, from what I have read, are plusses for geocaching. It also has specific geocaching functions, whatever they are. I got it off Ebay for $299, no tax, free shipping. I got Garmin's map update 2009 in my stocking for Christmas and it's good for this unit, so that's a plus. We can't wait to get going on this new "hobby". We're going to watch (hopefully) two space shuttle launches in May, and we already looked up a bunch of sights (hopefully finds) in Tittusville. BTW, the Garmin StreetPilot 2720 that we got for @$500 3 years ago is now available on Ebay for $118. Amazing how fast technology improves and gets cheaper. Thanks again to all, and hope you (we) all have have many more years of happy hunting!! Barney.
