Summary: Garmin GPS 60
Comment: I have enjoyed this product since the day it was put into my hands. My brother has one and he enjoys it very much and its a great help geting places. I use mine a lot to find geo-treasures and getting from point to point. Its been a great help and would recommend it to anyone who is starting out in geocaching.

Summary: Great for Geocaching!!!
Comment: This little unit is awsome. Husband and I started geocaching and after reading lots of reviews and getting suggestions from friends we settled on the Garmin 60. It is great. We have had great luck finding caches since we got the unit. It takes us to within a few feet of the hidden cache. Also it has been rained on and dropped several times. It is kind of like a Timex watch, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

Summary: Value & ease of use!
Comment: Picked this up at a great price (looks like it was on sale!) and we love its use for Geocaching. Pulls a signal better than my other two units.

Summary: Repeatable locations to one inch, if you average for days!
Comment: This will be an oddball review. I own four GPS60 units and use them in amateur surveying. I bought them because they do waypoint averaging and accept an external antenna and external power. I leave all four averaging their waypoints for minutes or hours or even days at a time, typically with external antennas (from Garmin or Gilson). When I'm not out surveying I usually leave one or two doing waypoint averaging using a couple of external antennas on my roof. After a few days the estimated accuracy shown on the display is usually down to 0.3 or 0.2 feet, sometimes down to 0.1. I've analyzed months of data collected this way and found that the accuracy estimate is a good estimate of one standard deviation, and most of the measurements are closer to my overall average antenna position than the estimate on the screen. Most of the ones that say "0.1 feet" are closer than one inch to the overall average. Note, though, Garmin's software insists on rounding the coordinates off to lower resolution than this - I have to use mapping software by Fugawi to get enough digits reported in the coordinates.
Any product that can report your position to an inch, based on satellites, is pretty impressive - even if you have to leave it running a week!
Not sure, but I think all Garmin's 12 channel products, which must be almost all of them, use the same GPS engine.
And another reviewer was wrong to say these can't output NMEA data. They can - you just have to menu over to Setup > Interface and select NMEA instead of the proprietary Garmin. I just checked to make sure!
