So far so good! You MUST, MUST, MUST use "UTM" data entry!! (Yes, that's listed for every cache on this website). Once you type this in, you can get within 10 meters of a cache, with great accuracy. Still 10 meters is not exactly on the spot. But more than holds its own against my friend's new iPhone. ALSO: as I learned here, works best when you're MOVING! GREAT battery life, plus you can carry (or buy) spares so easily. The manual is free and online, and you need to spend a few minutes with it. But it's pretty easy to use even for a non-techie like me. Bought mine for $15 (!) on eBay. If I lose it, oh well. At the very least, it can save your batteries, until you get close to a cache. It's not paperless, and there's no topo, no map, etc, but this unit DOES work well for geocaching, I'm happy to report.

Old device, needs never ending time to boot and to show position. But it is waterproof an tough, you can use it in every situation.
