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 -- gabriel l romeu http://members.aol.com/romeug studio furniture http://members.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photos, prints, etc. http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR a daily photo journal *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Feb 19 1999 - 16:48:41 PST
