Best GPSr for a Beginner to buy

In addition to the above, check carefully what comes with the GPS. The Legend comes with the pc cable whereas some of the cheaper units do not. The cable costs $30 odd. The cable makes adding waypoints sooo much easier.
Shop around for prices, especially online as prices vary enormously. I have a Legend purchased from Johnny Appleseed. Locally, in Toowoomba, no one could/would get to within $70 of JA's price. Most online stores are pretty competitive.
New H models are here/coming soon and should be a better buy as they have a more sensitive chip.

Or for an extra $110 you can go high-tech and grab one of these http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/airis-t ... tionality/
Install Cachemate and get directions from your doorstep to the cache. Only thing it won't do is find it and log it for you.
