I'm sure we mentioned GPS and Geocaching on here a few months ago.
Any Geocachers out there? - i just ordered my first GPS - though in fairness it is a base model (Garmin Etrex H) and without maps.
Main reason is my iphone has in-built GPS but is flattened in a couple of hours leaving me GPS-less but more seriously without a mobile phone in case of emergency, hence the purchase of the dedicated unit.
Anyone use this model or similar and is it really worthwhile to pay the best part of £20 for the programming lead or are there cheaper alternatives?
Can any geocachers out there point me in the direction of open source or free OS mapping so I can print out to use with the GPS when hiking?
Hope that made sense as its all new to me lol.
