Garmin's Colorado is a rugged, waterproof outdoor handheld GPS that can be used for hiking, boating, camping, in the car, or Geocaching.
Available in 4 different versions, the Colorado 400-series sports an innovative scroll wheel joystick controller, is the first GPS to support Whereigo ("Where I Go"), Groundspeak's newest twist on Geocaching (think virtual scavenger-hunt meets Geocaching), ships preloaded with World Base Maps in shaded relief, has a digital compass and altimeter, and can be paired with a heart rate monitor and/or speed and cadence sensor for fitness use.
