i used to cache with my axim/bt gps but i've stopped in favor of a garmin 60csx. the #1 reason is durability. i can use my garmin if i'm out on a lake or in the rain, or if i drop it i'm not (as) worried about it. the axim is too much a fincial investment for me to risk dropping it in a puddle.

i will say though the gps options for handhelds in general are EXCELLENT in accuracy compared to the garmin. I could generally pinpoint caches better than most handheld gps's. mine would also work in dense forest where others couldnt even get a signal. also with the axim i can go totally paperless (and have). i load up cachemate with the info, and then load my gpx into mapopolis or any other host of good applications and off i go. i've even used cachemate's cachenav to get me to a cache. its kinda fun that way too, it forces you to use the compass, so you have to really know what your'e doing to pin point a spot
