[Az-Geocaching] New Garmin Etrex Firmware

[Bob Renner]

Notes from the Garmin site for the Legend (similar
ones exist for the Vista).  Pay attention to item 3.

Bob Renner

1. Reverting back to previously released versions 
   will clear user memory.

2. Users are strongly urged to backup any user data 
   they wish to save.

3. WARNING: If your current software version is 2.50 
   or lower, this software will clear all unit data 
   including alamanac information.  Backup all user 
   data before upgrading. After installation is 
   complete, place unit with a clear view of the sky 
   for 15-30 minutes to re-acquire almanac data. 

4. WARNING: If this software is uploaded to a device 
   other than that for which it is designed, you will 
   not be able to operate that device. 

5. If attempts to upload software fail, you may need 
   to return the device to GARMIN for service.
