Choosing the best handheld GPS for Geocaching

There are 2 significant brands of the best GPS handheld devices they are Magellan and Garmin.
They both have a number of handheld GPS's to choose from as far as quality and price point; so which handheld GPS system is the right one for you.

Here are differences of a few of the best handheld GPS devices from both companies.

Before your choose the handheld GPS system for you, what features are the most important? Large screens, long battery life and preloaded maps are all standard features nowadays. Additional features include voice control and quick connections to satellites. Also think about the cost of features you need in terms of the price you want to pay.

Handheld GPS units are fantastic for hiking, biking, camping, hunting, boating, geocaching, or really any outdoor leisure activity. Think about adding a mounting bracket in your car, these are a very helpful addition as you can use them for your iphone as well. As a matter of fact, there are brackets for mounting most GPS units on bicycles, motorcycles and boats. Unlike GPS units made for your car, most handhelds don't have voice prompts , however some of them will "beep" as you near your destination.

The Garmin vs Magellan competition is not over. Garmin and Magellan have both improved their new model of handheld GPS devices upgrading and improving from their last models. Garmin looks like it's leading the "gadget war" with Magellan. The quality of GPS's have got better and the prices have come down The technology in the handheld GPS units continue to improve.

This is not to say you should not buy a Magellan. I really like Magellan. The Garmin vs Magellan GPS competition benefits you. Both very strong and keep improving their products regularly.

Garmin has a variety of Handheld GPS devices to choose from. The Oregon is an advanced, rugged handheld touch screen. The Dakota is the entry level of handheld GPS and the eTrex is outdoor navigation in the palm of your hand.
Magellan has the eXplorist series with 4 models for their handheld GPS devices. Each with their own features, so depending on your requirements and your price point the Magellan has a GPS for you also. They are extremely successful to those who are dedicated to geocaching.
