These are handheld GPSrs, so most don't do autorouting, which is the in-car directions. Mine can do that, but I would have to buy more maps separately so that it knows the roads and where to go. urrently, it only knows the major highways. There are about 12 caches within a mile as the crow flies from our place. Places like Albuquerque have tons more, so there are always new ones to find and things. Los Alamos County has more than 50, I think. Emmy gets to ride along in her front pack thing, which she likes okay, or if it's a cache near the road we just hold her because some don't involve much hiking around and are just in town.

This isn't the same thing you can put in your car to give you directions, is it? How do you take Emmy? Do you carry her in a Bjorn or something? I am hoping to get something like that for this next baby (because I have a feeling Logan will want to be in the stroller if he sees the baby in one, and I don't really feel like buying a bulky double). It sounds fun! Are there a lot of things cached in your area?? I didn’t know you got a GPS receiver, nor did I know that they were just $100 (I thought they were twice that or more).
