how is it for geocaching

Sorry to say I didn't keep it long enough to find out. Tried it once in British Columbia while on vacation but we never found the cache.

Sorry, I can't help you because I've never tried geocaching. I use it for work; I'm an archaeologist. It works great for mapping our test units, so I imagine it would work well for your purposes.

I use it for geocaching, and really like it. It interfaces with the geocaching.com site well. It has a lot of customizations that make it better than a cell phone. Make sure that you down load the manual. I would recommend the GPS highly. That being said, the only difference between the 710 and the 610 is the city maps. If you won't use it to drive (I don't, so I can't advise you on this) there is no reason to buy this model if the 610 is cheaper.

It is really good for the few times you get out of cell phone range. other than that the app on my Android is actually easier to use.

I love mine and use it for geocaching a lot. The only issue I have had with mine is the scroll bar being close to the edge of the screen and hard to move with a fingernail, but a twig always works if needed. As I told someone else, the only difference between the 710 and the 610 is the street maps. if you don't plan on using it in your car, you might save money. Make sure that you download the manual. Most of the people who complain here have never tried to learn about it. Thirty minutes with the manual, and it'll be yours. You might even want to look at the manual before you buy. It's free.

It works most anywhere you load the correct chart for. For depth, speed, & basic GPS location, it doesn't need any download.

Yes, it is good for geocaching but it does have a very small screen. I've only had it a few days but it seems more accurate than my old Garmin 305. The Chirp wireless beacon is a separate device that the person setting the cache puts in, or near, the cache to communicate with some Garmin devices. Other than being able to read the Chirp, this watch doesn't need a Chirp. I've never found a cache that had a Chirp in it.

For 2 years I have been using a 60CSx for geocaching using just the base maps that came with the unit. My biggest complaint is that there are too few details on the original base maps. Only major roads are shown and there is no indication of topography. Using the original base maps I usually must map out the way to a cache online before I head out. This has been working for me so far, but I have finally decided to upgrade to topo maps to make navigation to a cache easier as well as having road information when traveling. Overall, they're not necessary, but they sure are nice to have!

Definitely. The device allows you to save spots, tracks, etc. I always use this feature for hunting.

I would say it would be a good unit, since maps can be loaded on to it (not all GPS units can download maps). I'm not sure it would help you learn to read a map, but it'll help you find specific destinations.

Technically....yes. But it's maps aren't great and other features are very geocache oriented. Also....it's a old model. If you're looking for a new multi purpose GPS...I don't recommend it. There are many more new more powerful and useful models out there. Also....if you mean for use in a car.....no. It would be very poor at that.

I wouldn't say it's great but it's not bad. The GPS is usable but I wouldn't buy it just for that. The detector is great and the GPS is a nice added feature. Hope that helps!

Works very well. I have bought 3 so far, 1 for me and 2 for family. I have a very good gps with maps but I usually carry the backtrack while hiking or hunting. Backtrack will work good for you if you just want to get back to where your car is.

I use my 5915 for geocaching. I wanted one device that I could use everyday in the car (nav, music, pda-functionality) and then could pull out for the occasional cache. I really like the program GPSTuner for offroad navigation (no affiliation, just a happy customer). I also bought a little silicon case on ebay to protect it on the trail. If you do a lot of hiking, etc, then a dedicated, more rugged GPS is probably a better bet though.

It does Geocaching and I believe you enter Long and Lat to find the sites, but I have never Geocached.I hope this helps

I like this feature on the Magellan eXplorist GC. I bought the 110 because I thought it was a step up from the GC, but I prefer the GC over the 110 for Geocaching! You can do what Paul Salvagin said ( I believe it's under "Edit Nav. Fields"). I also just use the Zoom In Tab, which makes the arrow fairly accurate when you get to GZ. Make sure that your auto zoom is OFF (check "Map Options").

The Gps is very good. I'm not sure how to answer your questions other than it seems to work great and kowm how hug it is at all time.

Hey there PRow, it is. I have pocket queries from Groundspeak on my PN60 and I get full cache descriptions with ratings, logs, hints, the whole nine. It's a great geocaching unit, that's actually the reason I bought mine :)

Gps works good, maps have depth of sme lakes. Bought naviautucs card for lakes in my area to be more accurate.

I don't know at this time. I have only used it to find streets locally and the address of places I am traveling to. Its good for that but don't know about hight of bridges, etc..
