No More Printed Maps

We finally joined the ranks of the rest of the world and bought a GPS device (and I remember when I considered myself an early adopter!). I did a lot of research and asked all my friends who have one, and I ended up getting a Garmin iQue M4. I was looking for a device that would be suitable for driving, geocaching, and possibly boating. I also wanted one with voice-prompted directions, which rules out most of the handheld models. Most of the automobile models were clunky to carry. After some solid advice from my friend Kevin Roth, we decided to go for a PDA model. I had been stalking eBay for the last month or so, and I finally found an amazing deal on a used one.

We haven’t gone treasure hunting yet, but it works great in the automobile. It’s a nice little unit. By the way, ignore the MSRP on the web site, we didn’t pay nearly that much for it!
