I have a Garmin 12XL. It is a very fine unit. It stores 500 waypoints and 1024 positions. With an extra cable, you can connect it to your computer for editing waypoints. Most software which are obtaineble from the web, let you edit tracks so you can edit some of the 1024 positions to give you a rough map. You can mark the diving/fishing places with symbols. The display can be scaled so you can easy find and track your way. Set your starting position and you can find your way back, but it may fail, so don't depend on it. A good chart should be there. Battery life is about 20 hours with rechargebel batteries. It is said to be waterproof but I prefer a plastic sealed bag . regards Kor *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Mar 02 2000 - 08:54:46 PST
