GPS Recommendation for hiking and geocaching?

Looking for a handheld GSP for hiking and geocaching. Since I am new to using these, I would like something user friendly and under 0.

    A couple of months ago I made the best investment of my life and bought a gps from newelectronx and have used that to find my last 280 caches and LOVE IT!!. It’s comparable to the Garmin Gps’s (which is the GeoCachers preferred handheld GPS)…..but better!! It’s has everything the Garmin has and more. It’s WAAS enabled which makes it 5 times more accurate than anything else that’s not WAAS enabled. The built in compass is awesome, and it has a built in cool functions….

    I’ve tried a few over the years: Lowrance iFinder H2o, Garmin Geko 101, Garmin eTrex Summit, Garmin eTrex Vista CX, and my latest and greatest: Garmin Colorado 300.

    The Colorado 300 will also do street navigation if you add city navigator maps. The system and menus are different from the eTrex series, and it took a bit of playing around to get used to it, but now I can almost use it in my sleep. It’s easy to load a bunch of downloaded geocaches, and it has all the features like altimeter, compass, sun/moon and fishing/hunting time calculators. I think it’s a great unit, and the batteries last all day, too.
