The Geomate Jr. is an out of the box Geocaching GPS that comes loaded with thousands of Geocaches so it’s ready to go without connecting it to a computer. The database of 250,000 geocaches is impressive, and the simple interface can get you from here to there in a child friendly way. I will say that if you are sitting in your house, and want to go geocaching, there is a bit of a decision process to go through around location, difficulty, and Geocache type that I find using the Geocache website helpful to screen through the list of possible geocaches out there. From the review at CNet, the unit seems simple enough for kids to use, and enjoy getting outdoors.

For $69 it’s a cheap way to get into Geocaching. At REI – The Apisphere Geomate Jr
