i need help finding the right geocaching gps for me?

Ok so here’s the deal. I’m looking for a hand held GPS that’s pretty cheap. I just need to be able to type in the exact coordinates of where i am going and for it to tell me how to get there or at least where it is. Now I don’t think i can have one that does that and works in the car also like normal GPS but if it does that would be AMAZING! Thanks for your help.

An additional point or two from a geocaching perspective: you mention typing in coordinates, but you will quickly find that typing in cache coordinates is at best a nuisance, and has a possibility for error in the manually entered coordinates. Make sure whatever GPS you choose has the capability of USB connection to your computer so that cache coordinates can be entered directly from your computer in bulk. Also I recommend spending the money on a unit with an electronic compass – not as important as the USB connection, but definitely a “nice to have.”
