[Az-Geocaching] New GPS

[Bill]

Several people made the same suggestion, and it sounds like a good one.  We plan to look for a
few this weekend and try out the GPS.  I bought a video for it also, so we will watch that and
see if we can learn to use it.  Are the map CDs worth getting?  It looks like there is a topo
and a metro guide, and also another, cheaper version of the metroguide.  The GPS doesn't seem
to work in the house, so we can't use it while we watch the video.

Thanks,

Bill
