i think i figured out pretty early that what i find most bothersome about Christmas is getting gifts. Mostly because i feel horribly inadequate afterwards (i love to give, mind you, but that's different and generally something much easier to do anyway.) For things like homemade gifts of pure awesome, i'm speechless. For gadgety gifts, however, i've got a few more words.
In a pure Gift of the Magi move, my parents sent me a Magellan Maestro 4000 GPS. Of course, i kinda already have a GPS (which is kinda good news meaning that even after doing this for five years, my parents STILL don't know about this blog). Having two GPS (GPSii?) is a bit excessive, so i'm weighing between the new one (with 30% extra Guilt) and the one i got myself. Good news, both are within their return period, and i've got receipts. Here's the breakdown, since i've not been able to find a good one on line.
Any workable geocaching modes on either device? I find these sorely lacking on the TomTom One and two Garmins (c330 and 360) I've tried.
Depends on how you want to do geocaching, but I'd say 'no'.
These are more "driving around" type GPS' than something you'd hike around with.
The Garmin does display your current lat/lon when you ask it to, and it does allow you to quickly save your current location and elevation locations to favorites pretty easily.
If you can, skip over to a Frys or somewhere and poke it to see if it does what you want.

That is what you get for buying yourself something during the month of December.
