User Reviews about Apisphere Geomate Jr Handheld GPS Geocacher

I bought the Geomate to take on vacation in Maine. It is great for casual, spontaneous geocaching. But, besides lacking any coordinate info, my biggest complaint is that the little arrow doesn't lock in until you actually start moving....and you have no idea which way to head off. So you end up LITERALLY walking in circles for the first minute or two. Last weekend my family decided to use it....well, it was the funniest thing ever to see a group of 5 moving around the campsite like a swarm of bees moving continuously back and forth, until the arrow finally locked in and they headed off!!! -- Geomate is fun for grown ups too!

This is an awesome handheld GPS unit! My whole family loves it. We love the fact that you can just turn it on and locate the 20 closest caches. My brother-in-law goes geocaching with us, and I get much closer to the cache than his iPhone GPS feature gets him. My Geomate Jr often gets me within 1 foot of the cache. It has very helpful features, such as the terrain difficulty and size of the cache. I totally recommend purchasing the update cable. All in all, the Geomate Jr is one of the best items I've purchased in awhile. You won't be disappointed. -- AWESOME unit!

This GPS is PERFECT for the beginner geo-cacher. You don't have to read any directions before heading out to find your first cache. So much fun! The only problem I see is that if you become addicted to geo-caching, as we have become, you will "out grow" the unit quickly. -- Perfect for the first-timer!
