Gotta Get a Garmin

Garmin Colorado

I am so in love with the Garmin Colorado 400t that I have decided to start a new page on the blog to serve as my Wish List, in case Santa or the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy is reading and feeling particularly generous. This Garmin hand held GPS is the perfect inaugural item for my wish list because:

a) it’s a little pricey for my budget and therefore something I am unlikely to buy for myself within the next 2 months.*

b) it is DURABLE and WATERPROOF, which is great for someone as clumsy as I am.

c) it has a ton of pre-loaded 3D Elevation/Topo maps and wireless features that let users exchange routes instantly.

d) it has an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter for really accurate readings.

What I love most about the Garmin Colorado is that it jams so many useful features into such a tiny, lightweight body. Much nicer than unwieldy paper maps that need to unfolded and refolded over and over, and protected from moisture, etc. I will keep dreaming about the day when my Garmin wish comes true….

*Unless I find a REALLY good deal on a Garmin before then.
