[Az-Geocaching] RTW

[Brian Casteel]

eBay is a hit/miss thing anyway when it comes to getting deals.  Bidding
early on a newer item is almost always not going to last, so you focus on
the last hour or so, or employ the services of an auction sniper (a service
that submits a bid for you within the last few seconds of an auction for a
small fee).  Something like the 60C you'd be better off going to either a
retail store or online one such as gpsnow.com.

You did good. I tried the bidding thing but it got high fast. And I had
found the one on Amazon.com. The base set of maps that comes with the unit
is not all that detailed. I have the Garmin mapping software, MapeSource
Roads & Recreation and TOPO, and down load that and I have much better
details. The down side is that they have not updated the road info in a
while. So my street is not on it.  So that is why I am looking about. I
want to do the AZT and someone create one that you need the national
geographic topo software to use it. That I did buy on ebay and saved $20.
They want $99 + tax in the store and I got it for $79 and $8 for shipping.
Microsoft puts out Streets and Trips for only$25 or so. I have got to play
with it a bit.

Barry,

Thanks for your input..  I did find a 60C on Ebay with a low starting
bid.  I sent in a bid and got the unit at a lower price than my high
bid.  $346.99 to be exact, then added $8.00 shipping and $5.00 for
insurance.  At least it was a little better than the MSRP at our local
outlets..

I don't know, yet, if I will need mapping software.  I want to use it
for Geocaching only for the time being.  Will have to see how it goes..
