I (Andy) had gone out Geocaching with a friend and i was hooked. I had to figure out how to get my ands on a GPS. After talking it over with my wife (Sandra) for a bit we figured we could get one and try this Geocaching stuff if we didn’t go overboard and spen hundreds of dollars - after all - we had never really tried this yet.

I didn’t know much about the at the time - knew a few brand names and the basic features I needed for Geocaching. I had glanced through the buying guide on the Geocaching web site - I was ready to shop!

After surfing the web to try to find some online I ended up surfing through to eBay - why not try I figured. I am not a big eBay user but heck why not. After a quick search I found a unit that looked just perfect. It was a brand name I recognized - Magellan - and the price (at the time of bidding) was great. I placed my bid. I got out bid but decided to go up a bit more - I was now the highest bidder! Within a few minutes I won the bid!

After paying for it - shipping and all - it came to $105.11 - not bad at all. The Magellan Explorist 200 was at my home in two days - the third day we were out Geocaching and had our first find! We did 5 the first night as a family - we are now hooked!
