>>> >Does anyone know of a GPS unit that is *totally* waterproof >(including the battery compartment)? REI and most marine supply/outdoor stores sell the Aquapac case. It's about $25, and you can use the GPS while it's sealed in the case. The case makes the unit float, has a lanyard . . . and it's waterproof --as in 100's of meters for days and days. . . I keep my radio in one case and I kept my GPS in a second. I swear by them, and so do most kayakers I've seen that use them.

FWIW, I looked at the Magellan Web site at http://www.magellangps.com/magellan/default.html, and they claim that their new Tracker has water sealed battery tubes as well as a higher resolution screen than the Garmins.
