I know there are a few other threads on this but I'm still a bit confused. sorry if the questions are a bit basic!
I've tried using my car satnav but it's battery is flat in 5 mins and it is only good on roads! We don't currently have a mobile that could do the job. So my dilemma is: upgrade the phone to something with gps, or get a handheld gps just for geocaching. I'd really like a map to follow, but looks like some gps don't have them, just an arrow to follow? How do people find that works for them?
the phone idea first..which ones can be used, and which are good?
With handheld gps, I'm happy to write down coordinates ad take them with me, dont need to download- can anyone suggest some options.
We're only just starting with geocaching so really don't want to spend much on something we may not use very often.
Thanks for any help!
