Re: [Az-Geocaching] GPS Sick??

Yeah and mine was free..courtesy hubby's unit (Army) so I'm not complaining about anything! I was just shell shocked that it was SOOO wrong...lol! I've usually got really good results with my  Garmin...like within a couple of feet. I know I've been out with HinkleHouse a couple of times and her's was saying 30 feet that way when I had the cache in my hand. Which is why I'm a firm believer in caching in pairs with 2 GPS. LOL
I kinda figured that either the guy running the abacus in my GPS had gone on vacation or the batteries I'd put in it where just pieces of metal with no innards!!!

It, as well as yours, has been taking me to within 1-3 feet of the locations (that of course all depends on the person entering the original coords)....>>Anyway, i was just harassing Apryl.... i have nothing against Garmin (as I see you do Magellan), i am sure they make great GPS's. I am new at this (1yr) so I certainly don't claim to be an expert, but I do like the look and feel of the Magellan over the Garmin.>>I also check out your Garmin link.... From what I can
tell the 2 a VERY comparable....
