I have decided to either go for a DeLorme (yes, the same company that makes the large street atlas you may have in your car or elsewhere) PN-40 (noted below) or the PN-20
$349.99 at Amazon (link above), but that includes topographic maps of the country, which can be used for full road routing. 1GB SC [...]

Ari and I went geocaching Saturday (Sara decided to stay home and have some Sara time) and Ari played a bit in the park.
We still don’t have a GPS, so I still rely on Google Maps or Google Earth to locate things before I leave the house.

I found my first geocache!

It seems lots of people go out in groups or teams.
A few notes. Some [...]

As I noted before, I am getting interested in going geocaching. While most people know the term Muggle to refer to a non-magical person in the world of Harry Potter, but in geocaching parlance it refers to anyone not aware of geocaching who might endanger the cache, become suspicious of your activities while you are [...]

Okay, a better title would be “Seriously WANTING a Handheld GPS”. My actual consideration levels aren’t all that high… yet…
I was thinking how cool geotagging was, and how it would be nice to add to photos we take. Then there a GPS games, and of course being able to find your way around… Well, [...]
