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 button”…do 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, they’ll usually send you another one.
