Getting to Know The Garmin Etrex “Yellow” Note: They are not always yellow!

The buttons on the Garmin Etrex Yellow

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.
