Fantastic supplemental geocaching tool
I purchased two of these, one for my kids and one for a friend.THE GOODFor my kids, this is the perfect unit. We use the geocaching app on my Iphone as our main geocaching tool to get us into the vicinity and then the kids use their Geomate Jr to get them to the cache. My 6 year old can run into trees with it, fall on it, etc and it takes a licking and keeps on ticking (much better than him doing that with my iphone!) Because we have already been geocaching, we were able to understand how to use this tool after a few button pushes. We did a side-by-side test with my iphone and the Geomate jr and the Geomate updated faster than my iphone and was more accurate under heavy tree cover conditions. Under normal conditions, both the Iphone and Geomate Jr updated at similar times and had readings within 2 feet of each other.NEEDS IMPROVEMENTThis tool is billed as the Grab and Go geocaching tool, so easy that it will encourage everyone to get in the...

Perfect for spontaneous adventures!
This is the perfect device for on-the-fly geocaching.I travel alot with work, and I used to find myself wishing I could go geocaching but I didn't have the time or the means to upload caches. With the Geomate.jr, I can just pull it out, turn it on and go. It travels everywhere with me, in fact it has a permanent place in my bag. I would be more upset if I left it behind, than my cell phone!I have found over 100 caches with the geomate.jr, it is a shame it doesn't give the description of the cache, but with the "found' list, I just log online and read about interesting caches after I have been there. The information it does provide, such as cache size and difficultly is very helpful. I still shy away from small caches! Sometimes I am just not up for the challenge!I found the navigation to be very accurate, I have never been mis-directed, even in the woods where you would expect coverage to be spotty.I really would recommend this product to...

Discover Geocaching

An exciting outdoor adventure for the whole family, geocaching is a high-tech GPS-based treasure hunt. Hidden all over the U.S.--behind bushes, inside logs, under park benches, practically anywhere--are "geocaches," containers of various size (some can be a small as a quarter piece, while others as large as a bucket) with a log book and trinkets that you can trade stashed inside. Your mission as a Geocacher is to find them.

About the Geomate.jr

Loaded With Geocaches
Unlike any other GPS on the market, the Geomate.jr comes preloaded with approximately 250,000 geocache locations covering all 50 U.S. states.

A Breeze to Use
Simply go outside, turn it on and follow the arrow and distance to your closest geocache. Hit the "Next" button and the Geomate.jr will take you to the next closest geocache. To make the hunt a little easier, along with the geocache location, you also get information like terrain, difficulty, size of the geocache, and the geocache code. You can also set a "home" waypoint so you can always navigate back to where you started--a bit of a "get lost proof" feature.

After a good find, the "found geocache" log allows you to mark geocaches as found and review them later.

Solid Technology
The Geomate.jr includes core GPS functionality like latitude, longitude, height, heading, and GPS tracking information. Based on high-sensitivity SiRFstarIII GPS technology, the Geomate.jr delivers excellent GPS performance and accuracy.

The Geomate.jr gets more than 12 hours of operation out of a couple AAA batteries (not included).

Loads of Fun

Add an Udpate Kit
With new geocaches being added every day, an optional Geomate.jr Update Kit allows you to add all the newest geocaches for the U.S., get geocaches for other countries, or even give your Geomate.jr a nickname!

Find a Penny
These are great looking and the log was easy to extract from the vial. I haven't placed them yet, but it looks like the log is well protected and it will probably be tricky to find. Can't wait to try it out. I was very pleased with the value, too.

Definitely does its job
I just placed this cache in Urbandale, IA. So far a few of the best cachers in the area have looked and no one has found it yet. Definitely a good "plain sight" hide, although I did have to make sure I placed it where a passer-by wouldn't decide to pick up the penny.My only concern is that the glue may not hold since the container has to be placed on the ground and it will get opened by the penny. Time will tell.I received the package in a reasonable amount of time, but not especially quickly. No complaints with the seller.

Upgraded to the Magellan eXplorist GC
I upgraded from a very basic GPS to the eXplorist GC because I only use my GPS for geocaching. After looking at the reviews of other products I chose this one because it kept billing itself as the GPS solely for geocaching and it was paperless. I really enjoy the whole paperless feature. I have found a dozen or so caches in different terrain. Here is what I've noticed so far.PRO:I love the fact the hints, descriptions, and a couple logs are all in the unit. (I guess that would be true with any paperless geocaching unit.I love that I didn't have to pay for a unit that provides the sunrise/sunset times, tides, or detailed topographical information.I love having the roads and rivers/lakes show up on the display.I like the USB connection.CON:The unit takes a bit to get a signal.It doesn't come with a real manual.

For that reason most geocachers have taken to keep a geocaching bag or “kit” ready to go at all times. First Aid – When I first started geocaching I was alarmed that some of the harder to find geocaches in my area were down steep ravines or needed the use of ropes to access. The Timbuk2 messenger bag is the bag I am currently using, and I love it. Bandana – Most people laugh at me when I tell them to always include one or two bandanas in their geocaching kit.
