Which Black Friday Sale GPS is the best for Geocaching?

There is a Garmin Nuvi 200 for $97 at Walmart and a Magellan Roadmate 1200 at Target for about the same I think. Would either of these work for geocaching? Which would be better? I want to purchase this as a Christmas gift for my husband so that he and our boys can start geocaching! But, I'm pretty confused as to what GPS to get!

nv jack is correct. Neither of the GPS receivers you mention are suitable for caching. Both Garmin and Magellan (and one or two smaller companies) make hand held GPS receivers that can be used, and choice of manufacturer is a matter of personal preference. My choice is the Garmin 60 CSx, but at approximately $300, it is expensive for a first time unit. When you make your decision, here are some things to look for that will make the unit much more user friendly for caching: electronic compass (a must have for me), USB computer interface for downloading caches from your computer, water resistant/waterproof, rugged, sensitive receiver and antenna (for caching under heavy tree cover). A nice to have feature is the ability to accept a memory card so that maps can be loaded, and automatic routing to help you get to the general area of the cache is nice as well. There may be some sales around going into the holidays, but a quick check didn't turn up any super deals on any GPS receivers that I would choose. Keep shopping and keep my list of features in mind. Hope your husband and kids enjoy their new sport/hobby.Which Black Friday Sale GPS is the best for Geocaching?


You want to look for a GPS that you can put in the Latitude %26amp; Longitude, of the target. The ones you mention,I believe are for traveling by car.
