This was the first GPS that I owned for finding geocaches. I was disappointed with the fact that it would only read reliably in UTM coords, although after getting used to them, I have found that UTM is more accurate than Lat/Lon. The GPS that I currently use is older than the Blazer 12 and yet is much more versatile. I have passed the Blazer 12 on to my daughter so she has something to point her the way when we go cache hunting. I found about 600 caches with it before I got a different (better) GPS, so I guess it works ok. Battery usage isn't too bad, but it can burn through rechargables pretty fast. All in all, it isn't bad for a starter GPS.....but I wouldn't pay more than $40 for one.
