There is a new Garmin nüvi 550 3.5-Inch biggrin.gif

Here's some things I think make it good for Geocaching: smile.gif

nüvi accepts custom points of interest (POIs)
(can be used with GSAK and POIloader to upload cache pages)
Wherigo player

smile.gif This nüvi GPS device is compatible with Wherigo, the latest GPS-based activity from geocaching pioneers Groundspeak. Wherigo (pronounced "where I go") is a toolset for creating and playing location-based multimedia experiences in the real world. Using the Wherigo platform, Wherigo authors can build exciting adventure games, historical tours or other innovative activities.
