Recommend a GPS Please
Global Positioning System
I am in the market for one but never had one before. What brand to buy...
Who has one and likes it? Which one? Why?
And of course, it you hate yours, why?

Depends on what you are getting it for? I have had 2 Magellans and 1 Garmin.
Is this for Geocaching?
Fishing?
Auto navigation with maps?

I've been geocaching for about 3 years now but am not religious about it... I think I have less than 100 finds. I think it is a good family activity that gets people exercise and that is always a good thing.

We enjoy it very much, and it is something I do with my MIL and SIL when we are together too. I am at 570 finds now, which is nothing compared to some of the people I know! LOL

Geocaching is a sport/hobby/game where players use a GPS to find geocaches that have been hidden by other players. You use the coordinates that are posted by the players, and sometimes you have to figure out puzzles to get the "real" coords or use clues to get to the location. It is almost like a modern day treasure hunt, but with a twist. Every geocache is a container. Sometimes they are big, sometimes VERY SMALL. But all of them have a log for you to sign when you find it. The larger ones have "stash" inside for you to trade. It could be anything from a happy meal toy to foreign money. The point of it really isn't what is in the cache, it is the hunt that is the fun. If you go to the website ( www.geocaching.com - it is free) and punch in your zipcode, you would be surprised at how many of them may be hidden in your area. We do this when we travel too. Look for ones along our route, it makes the "rest stops" more fun.
