No, I don't have any experience with that model. I have a Garmin Nuvi, but haven't used it for geocaching yet. I've also seen the TomTom unit. They're definitely great to have in the vehicle when you're not sure where you're going! Hi Callie,

MY day has been made by having YOU comment on my blog! I'm having a total fangirl moment right now. :) Yes, passion and immediacy are totally appropriate in what we do, but sometimes it feels like so few outside our niche seem to understand or appreciate that. It's always inspiring to find kindred spirits who feel the same way I do about writing nonfiction for kids. Thanks! Hi Cheryl,
