Received an early Xmas present from my parents--money earmarked for the purchase of a GPS. My parents enjoy geocaching, and I've been interested in getting into it with our kids as well--but have never done it.
Now I need to figure out what we're going to get.
I know there are a lot of GPS units out there which are great for street navigation (the kind typically mounted to a car dash), but which have none of the features needed for geocaching whatsoever. On the other hand, there are others which are great for geocaching/hiking, but which are useless from a street navigation perspective. Is there anything which does decently at both? Our usage is probably going to skew more toward the geocaching side, but I'd like to be able to find my way to a street address as well.
Or would I simply be best off getting two units, one for each application?
