However, the limited functionality of this device could easily become frustrating. Devices that will connect to a computer in order to download maps and .loc location files for geocaches are more expensive. Geocaching.com offer advice on choosing a device for geocaching. Examples of the different models of dedicated GPS device can easily be found on the web, for example: Garmin GPS eTrex Legend , Garmin eTrex Vista Cx or the HP iPAQ hw6915 Mobile Messenger .
