Garmin has released a new line of eTrex GPSrs.
Quote:
eTrex 30 takes one of the most popular and reliable GPS handhelds and makes it better. Enhanced ergonomics, an improved interface, paperless geocaching and expanded mapping capabilities makes eTrex more versatile and user-friendly, while maintaining its toughness and durability.
Check out the eTrex 30 details here.

We like the color of the eTrex 20. Will it allow us to do those funny Chirp caches? We haven't been able to find those, even with binoculars.

I don't think they do chirps, but they now support paperless caching.

Odd that they wouldn't support Chirps. You would think any new geocaching tools would include the newest gimmicks, especially when it's Garmin who MAKES the chirps.

The specs for the eTrex don't mention chirps, but neither do the specs for the 62s (which does read a chirp). Going over to the chirp page, the specs show that the eTrex 30 is compatible (probably because it contains the wireless feature to communicate with other Garmin devices).
