Buying a GPS

Buying a GPS unit.
I have collected here some links to information on buying a GPS. Your choice will depend on your budget and your lifestyle. My own GPS is a Garmin eTrex GPS Personal Navigator, a basic low priced unit that does everything I need for my geocaching hobby. You really don't need anything more fancy, but of course more money will buy you more features.
Happy geocaching!

A Practical Guide to GPS by Don Bartlett is a very comprehensive guide to everything you want to know (and everything you may never need to know as well) to GPS. If all you want is to buy a GPS for geocaching then this guide is probably too detailed to be of use but if you are interested in the possibilities, read Don Bartlett's Guide and you will know more than enough.
