This GPS has the best price to performance ratio of any handheld GPS out there! It is extremely easy to load Geocache files right from your computer. I was a little skeptical to buy a GPS without an external antenna, but I have never had anything but a stellar signal with this unit, and it gets a sattelite fix extremely fast. I would definitely recommend this to anyone whether you are a beginner or advanced user.
