Originally implemented by the FAA for aviation use, WAAS is particularly useful for serious outdoors enthusiasts as well as for precise in-city navigation.

Living up to my expectations........2006-05-24
It is intuitive to use, I hardly had to look at the manual. The buttons are a little stiff. I like the rubber on all the corners of the case making so it can bounce around in my glove box without geting banged up. It is very waterproof. I have been caught out in some heavy rain and it hasn't leaked.
It did take significantly longer than the 50 seconds the manual said to aquire a fix when I first turned it on but once it was 'warmed up' it was fine. Good batteries literally last for days on end, as long as you DON'T use the back light. The back-light seems to sap them in minutes. I accidentally left my unit on in power-save mode for two days on my coffee table with a set of batteries that had already done several hours daytime use. They were 'almost' flat after all that time. Not bad.
Over-all this unit has meet all my exepectations and I recomend it for geo-caching. Got'a be the most bang-for-your-buck unit around.

Take everyone's advice.......2005-07-02
If cost is the issue buy a cheap Garmin brand gpsr. I naively bought this model when I got introduced to geocaching last spring, thinking I'd buy a cheap gps receiver in case I didn't like the sport.
This device has many flaws. The gps unit only updated your location every 5 minutes or so. Reading the manual didn't help, I had to contact cobra so they could instruct me how to turn off their moronic "power saving" mode.
I had several days where there was not a cloud in the sky, yet no connection to the satellites could be found. I routinely got different coordinates when standing in the exact same spot of my driveway, sometimes over 100 yards away from eachother.
In addition, when using the goto waypoint feature, when you come about 100 feet from the destination, the gps would beep and display "ARRIVING AT DESTINATION!" Then any distance readings or compass bearings would disappear. I know gps is not extremely accurate, but 100 feet?! The packaging claims within 3 meters.
Cobra's gps100 is pure trash. Don't buy it unless it's a gift for someone you really hate.
