Which of these GPS units if any are the best for Geocaching?

Which of these GPS units if any are the best for Geocaching?
1. Garmin III Plus GPS
2. Magellan 315 GPS

It looks like you probably could, but the question is why? Unless you already own one or both of these units, there are much better options available. The Magellan 315 is a 10 year old design, and there have been major improvements in receiver sensitivity and accuracy since then. The Garmin III is better suited to use in an automobile, but on the other hand I seem to remember someone years ago using one for caching, so if my memory’s correct it can be done. Again though you are dealing with an obsolete GPS with more modern options available. The current GPS of choice for serious cachers remains the Garmin 60CSx, although the Oregon units are making inroads. Also, DeLorme has a new unit, the PN-40, which shows promise, but I can’t recommend it yet – it seems a work in progress.
