Best GPS for Geocaching






Best GPS for Geocaching – Paperless Geocaching with an Efficient GPS Unit.

Geocaching GPS Units

Going out and scouring through the woods looking for a hidden mystical box of trinkets is super fun! People of all types and ages really get into it, even kids!

Which leads me to my first tracking device recommendation.The Geomate Jr. Handheld GPS

Don’t let the “Jr.” part of the name fool you. This unit is just as functional for adults as it is for kids, but it’s so easy to use and comes already pre-loaded with 250,000 geocaches that it makes for a perfect device for children.

It’s also updatable in case you find all pre-installed caches or run of them in your area. You do have to buy a separate little piece of updating software for about $24, which includes every single Geocache in the United States. Plus, even with the extra $24 this unit still isn’t as expensive as other devices.

If you’d like to know a little bit more about this incredibly simple and straight forward handheld system then read the descriptions below and click to read user reviews.

Garmin eTrex Handheld GPS

If you are looking for a little more sophistication and a device that can also be used for hiking and backpacking yet still functions as a superb geocache tool, then the eTrex Series is probably right up your alley.

It’s a very easy to use device and people don’t have such a tough time downloading their pocket queries as they do with more complicated units. Many people do use this unit and you can read full product descriptions and click to read user reviews below.

Magellan Explorist Handheld GPS

The Explorist Series is another great geocache tool. It’s got a nice colorful touchscreen interface and a neat little handle that you can clip a carabineer to.

You can also use this device for various other tracking needs such as hiking and backpacking and even a little bit of road navigation. It’s pretty simple to download pocket queries to as well. Read more detailed descriptions below and click to see product reviews.
