Hasta La Gadget!

There’s certainly plenty of GPS devices that are well-suited to geocachers, but Magellan is claiming that its new eXplorist GC is the very first such device that’s been “designed exclusively for geocaching.” That means you’ll get loads of pre-loaded geocaches, a free 30-day premium membership to Geocaching.com (which the device links to), and even some merit-based awards that will let you boast about your geocaching skills. Of course, the device will also handle your other GPS needs, and includes all the usual features like waypoint creation, a worldwide basemap, and a trip odometer. Sadly, it won’t be much of an adventure to find the device itself — it’ll be available from all the usual sources next month for $199.99.
