Summary: Not my favorite for Geocaching by a long shot
Comment: I've been geocaching for about 6 months (using a Garmin Forerunner 101), and I'm hooked. Got this for myself for Christmas, and was really excited, but quickly dissappointed. Yes, you can directly download your co-ords from geocaching.com, but that's all you get. It lists the caches by thier alpha-numeric code (like I'm going to remember which one is which), but doesn't give any info on the cache. First day out I was 3 for 9! Not the greatest receiver: in most cases, it was way off, when it told me I was at GZ. I was very sad to see that it lacked the "List of Nearest" screen that the Forerunner had, which I used often for placing caches.
On a whim I went to my local big box store and got a Magellan 400 Adventure Pack for a little more than this cost, which includes the topo maps. The Magellan 400 provides nearly paperless caching (provides full cache discription, decrypted clue, terrain & difficulty ratings, as well as who placed it), is more user friendly (but not the software, it is lacking a bit, but did get it figured out), and much easier for my average women's size hands to operate.
The result? The Venture HC is going back.

Summary: Garmin Etrex
Comment: It is a great product - use them for work and enjoy using them - I think the video that was included saved me a couple of hours a week of papersork. The GPS did a lot of the stuff that I was doing by hand and notes.
Warantee was fantastic - my broken one was replaced and all the waypoints were transferred to the new GPS
I am very satisfied - five stars aren't enouth

Summary: Perfect for Geocaching!
Comment: After a lot of research I bought this GPS unit for my son who wanted to start Geocaching with his 9 year old daughter . It is excellent . The color screen and easy to use features along with the HC technology make it the best buy for a beginner at a very reasonable price !
