Possibly more interesting than geocaching is the Degree Confluence Project : be the first to visit the exact interesection of some line of longitude and latitude, take a 360 degree panorama, and you earn everlasting fame and a place on this website. Some excellent photos and descriptions.

The best starting point for GPS info is http://joe.mehaffey.com/

A good place to buy Garmin stuff is http://www.tvnav.com/navhome.html

(I have no connection to any of the above, I'm just a satisfied onlooker/user/customer).
