RE: [Paddlewise] GPS options (again)

I researched Garmins, Magellans, and a few others before buying a Garmin
12XL
.  As a backpacker & kayaker, I chose it because it is more ruggedly
built and submersible/waterproof.

I researched Garmins, Magellans, and a few others before buying a Magellan
2000XL.  As a backpacker & kayaker, I chose it because it is more ruggedly
built and submersible/waterproof.  Recently I had a capsizing incident where
my GPS was totally immersed in salt water for more than a half hour --
without being contained in a drybag.  The unit stayed dry internally and it
continued to function without any problems.
