I had never heard of geocaching before and looked it up. Very interesting. I checked their website and found over 100 caches within 50 miles of my house. Some only 3 or 4 miles away. I might have to break down and get a GPS now, I've been looking for a good excuse.
Just realize that you don't need all the bells and whistles when buying a gps. The pre-installed basemap will still show you where your destination is just like the $100 topographical software they expect you to buy. It just doesn't show all the roads, rivers and the like. One thing I would recommend is a rechargable lithium battery as a gps can eat regular batteries. Garmin and Magellan are two good makes. For info and deals on gps equipment search here(keep in mind this is a Canadian site, you'll probably find better deals in the US and no duty). And please, please, please do it kilted. It's the only way to go!
