Probably just about any GPS will do for this. The main differences are in the screen (size, resolution, black & white lcd versus 4-scale gray, etc), the amount of memory (storage for maps, waypoints, and routes), I purchased a Garmin eTrex Legend about 6-8 months back, and have been extremely happy with it. I think I found it somewhere at about $200 with a $50 mail-in rebate.
Bottom line - for putting in coordinates and going to them, any unit will do. I like the eTrex Legend, because it has enough memory to put most of Michigan in map-wise, so when I'm driving around I can always see where I'm at. The screen is also very nice on it. Let me know if you have more questions. The geocaching website does have a "guide to buying a GPS" but it isn't really much good. http://www.geocaching.com/articles/gps_buying.asp Josh > -----Original Message----- > From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 8:18 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: GPS systems > > > Okay all you gearheads.
