Garmin eTrex

The eTrex is a sturdy and straightforward GPS unit that runs off of AA batteries. This means that you never have to worry about charging the device or not being able to keep it powered on multi-day tours. You can load Ride with GPS routes onto the eTrex's included SD card to navigate with this device.
