Reviews of the Apisphere Geomate.jr

CNET Review
The Good: The Geomate.jr is extremely easy for youth (and adults) to use thanks to its no-setup design and huge database of preloaded cache coordinates. Water-resistant and shockproof design should handle the occasional drop and splash with ease. The capability to save a Home location means that the Geomate.jr won't leave you lost in the woods.
The Bad: The lack of an internal compass means you have to be moving to get accurate direction information. Having to purchase a proprietary connection to update the cache database is slightly annoying. USB would be better, we think.
The Bottom Line: The Geomate.jr sits in a class of its own as a child-friendly and easy-to-use handheld, geocaching device.
