Im new to geocaching and use my phone to track location. But I see that Geocacher usually use a GPS Device. What’s a good product for beginners? If you would start the hobby now, what would you buy?

Thank you. Great to read that a phone is enough. I read in another forum, that phones might not be accurate enough? Maybe I’ll get a GPS device second hand and test it one day…
