Magellan eXplorist 110 Hiking GPS

I bought this after trying an Explorist GC that was purchased locally. The GC was too focused on geocaching for my tastes. This model can be used for that, but it also is good if you just want to get out and hike, or motivate you to walk a little further/faster when exercising. It comes with a quick start booklet, but the real manual can (and should)be easily downloaded on line. It is fairly simple, but without that manual there are several customization's that I would not have figured out. Like other GPS's I've tried, it takes a while to find itself when you first turn it on if you have gone any distance from where it was turned off (or the first time out of the box.) After that, it works fine and syncs within about a minute. It was sensitive enough to pick up a signal in the house while I was reading the manual. The displays can be changed to suit what you look for and there are no maps to buy. It comes with a coupon for access to a geocaching website if you want to go that route, but you can also download the caches for free without it. All in all, I am very happy with it. Update: It's dead, Jim. After almost 5 years, it finally won't start. I have bought another Magellan for geocaching and use the 710 most of the time, but would still pull this one out every once in a while, especially when others went with me. I have always stored it without batteries to prevent damage. The last few times I booted it up, it took much longer to display anything on the screen, and now it is dead. Even after 5 years, it was still very useful for geocaching. I still recommend it.
