What is the best GPS unit for Geocaching is a question we get asked all the time.
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices.

- Do not place caches on private land without permission or in national parks or wilderness areas at all.
- Do not cross private property without permission to reach a geocache.
- Do not include offensive or inflammatory material in a cache.
- Maintain a "tread softly" and Leave No Trace philosophy.
