Recently got back into it, allthough I had to start a new account since its inactivity while I was in hospital. kinda lame since I lost all the previous logs and caches I have started but oh well.

I am off and running again but have found the hobby has gained alot of tech since I have been out of it.

coming to find there is paperless devices from garmin that offer alot more ease.

what devices are you guys running?

these are the devices I have that seem to be either discontinued or outdated beyond use for geocaching for downloads

Garmin foretrex 101
Garmin Rhino 120
Garmin GPS 12
Garmin Etrex legend
Garmin Etrex Vista

I have found my edge 305 works but only holds 100 caches and will work when I am on the bike but I think I need to update.

reccomendations?

My son just recently has gotten into it , so that means I have too

We just use an old Garmin XL12 and a Garmiun Forerunner 101 , nothing fancy.

i have a delorme pn30 that i haven't messed with yet.....

 

[chicodude]

i did it with my iphone for a while. good for urban caches on roadtrips and whatnot

 

[Damo]

Yeah, I just used my old smartphone with gps...

We started a geocache with our nephews a while ago. We should go and check it out sometime. It's crazy how international it is! There are a few around where I live!

I still got an old Etrex Legend (the blue one) that we use for geocaching, I'd like to get a colorado one to be able to go paperless but so far I still don't have one....

I believe the Oregon one is even better than the colorado but I could be wrong...

I am thinking I will get the oregon 550t

 

[stosh]

I use my Droid Eris phone. Did my first one last night, I didn't find it but I did get 3 ticks. Awesome!!!!

 

[Da Peach]

Thought about trying it out. iPhones do everything!

 

[TheTruth]

one of these will take your mind right off that geocaching... Isn't it tempting?

 

[J-Dubs]

I've got a Dakota 20 and it's a better value than the 550t.

My family has placed many caches in the tahoe area. My favorite is on Kiva Beach. I use a Garmen Legendc (free). I hit about three a week.

How is geocaching not littering?

 

[gonefirefightin]

Picked up the oregon 550t today!

pure awesomeness!

paperless caching and not much bigger than my edge 705. got a couple bike mount as well

Garmin 60CSx...great little tool. That was the GPS unit that my dept.'s map and compass class/Fireline EMT was taught with. Plus it seems to be the unit that a lot of Management Teams rely on when plotting a burn area etc. Plus you can get a lot of cool mapping programs for it too.

Went out for the first real time today. My friend (ex's hotter sister ) came up to visit and we spent all afternoon finding 6 caches around campus. One of them was under a bridge that I've walked over almost every day for the past 2 years. I thought that was pretty cool. We used a combination of my iPhone 4 and her Droid 2. Has anyone tried the geocaching.com iPhone app? I have the free one and it was very cool but also very limited. Is it worth the $10?

I just use my handheld GPS to make sure I don't die in the woods.

Does it ward off evil spirits ?

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

The deluxe version did. Mine just keeps bears and hobos away.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I wonder if there's an iTimewaster app that repels squirrels. That would be most useful around here.

Nope, clearly Satan has demonically possesed these folks. We have all seen the episode of South Park were Satan and Saddam lured these folks into eternal damnation. GPS stands for Gay People for Satan...

 

[Drbob31]

Never have gotten into it. Seems like a good time, though.

 

[Damo]

Good to do with littlies.

It's basically a modernized treasure hunt.
