The Garmin Etrex Yellow

• This is a durable little GPS receiver.
• You can download GPS Waypoints / etc. without
  installing additional drivers (you do need to
  install other software).
• If you decide you want to upgrade to a fancier
  unit in the future, it will be real easy (pretty
  much the same format menus, just additional
  bells and whistles)

Warning

• It is water proof, shock proof, and ALMOST kid
  proof (but it does not float!)
• You can not break it by pushing the wrong
  buttondo not be afraid to experiment!
• Do not store this in your car during the summer!
  Heat will destroy it. (it is basically a small
  computer)
• If it does break, send it back to Garmin, theyll
  usually send you another one.
