Geocaching

I love it so far. I did not give it 5 stars because even with 10 of 10 satellites working, the unit seems to be centered wrong. I will work on this and resubmit another review if I can correct it, or if I find I am wrong. I believe it to send me somewhere around 60 feet too far west. I have used it far more than 12 hours on alkaline batteries and have not changed them out yet. I like that. Update: I was wrong about the unit being off. I have only tried to find 2 of the 250,000 geocaches preloaded. Neither was there. Both were in well maintained grassy areas and I am certain that it wasn't that I was just unable to find. I will keep trying, though. The caches I have found were nearly all dead on where the unit said they were. This tells me the accuracy is exceptional. I love this little unit.

I like how it came loaded with 250,000 cache. It's very easy to use.

This might have been good at some point when it was new, but I received it as a christmas present in 2011 and couldn't use it since. The company (Apisphere) closed there doors earlier in 2011 and there product was still being sold to unknowing customers. So this GPS unit is worthless to many individuals and it has now become a paperweight.

Nice unit. Don't believe the comments about tech support. Since the new owners have taken over tech support is great since the first of the year. I have called them 3 times since the first of the year and actually spoke to the head manger twice as he answered the phone. No wait on the line either. They picked up by the 3rd ring each time. To the comment about not being able to load cache coordinates or other custom caches... read the directions. They do work, if you read them. One of the draw backs is that it does not give the road directions to the cache, but I just print out a map of the caches I am going to that day. I have put out 30 caches so far and nobody complains that the coordinates are off. I have gone out with friends that have expensive units and Jr takes me within 3 feet of GZ. They are 20 feet over some place else at times. You do have to load up the latest caches from the Jr site OR you can load the ones you want to go to for that day as a custom down load. It is fast t
