  3. 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…)

  4. 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.
