    Perfect gift. My wife, the geocaching guru, has been wanting this GPS and she loves it. The Garmin Dakota 20 is simple to use and can easily survive a day in the woods with the best of them. Good options for new geocachers or very experienced ones.

    I bought this GPSr with the goal to have a nice geocaching GPSr with some neat features, but I ended up with so much more. The unit has no problems acquiring a signal in the vast flat-lands of Florida. Nice tracking detail.
