I recieved a waterproof Magellen as a very unexpected gift over the
holidays(much appreciated) which seems to retail around for about 100.00
(it wasn't a research project, just seem to run into it in catalogues
and stuff).  I havn't been out with it, but did play with it quite a bit
and it seems really nice, found a better route home from the studio
which saves a couple of miles.
If I would have bought one, I think a computer interface would have
enhanced productivity considerably- integration with mapping programs
for land use as an example.  
I wouldn't have bought one for the time being however, and I really do
appreciate the one I have.

best, gabriel
