Magellan eXplorist GC Handheld GPS

Product Review (submitted on June 15, 2012):

We used to Geocache with our Droid phone, but got rid of the data plan so could no longer use it. I did tons of research (and praying) and was led to this unit.

It is very easy to use.
- Using the device in the field is simple and everything can be done with one hand.

- Downloading from the Geocache website is easy with the use of Pocket Queries.

- Uploading your field notes to the site is also very simple.

Syncing is done via a provided USB cable.
It uses two AA batteries (provided) and it lasts a long time.

You also get 30 days premium membership to Geocache.com. This allows you to download caches with lots of detail (pictures, comments, logs, etc). Without the membership, you only download simple info that will get you to the cache.

This unit was made for Geocaching [GC] and it delivers as advertised.
