This GPS aimed at sportsmen and adventurers will be equipped with 5 different navigation profiles to be adapted to various activities: driving, sailing, outdoor leisure, sports and "geocaching".

Dan Bartel, Garmin global sales co-manager said: "Even if it has a huge number of new functions and options that can be customized, the Colorado is really easy to use thanks to its Rock'n Roller driven with only one thumb." The Colorado is equipped with a high sensitivity GPS receiver and with a 3" high resolution color screen on which we can display a world wide- map.
