RE: [Paddlewise] Garmin eTrex GPS

Jack,

Here is a URL with information about the eTrex GPS.

At the risk of losing my gearhead credentials I'll confess to not having the
latest GPS.  I bought my GPS when the Garmin 45 was the latest and greatest
Garmin.  I've still got it.  When I go on the water with it I put it in a
waterproof container that has the additional advantage of providing
floatation.

Anybody familiar with this (I believe, relatively new) small handheld,
"submersible" GPS?  West Marine has it on sale for $114.99 --- marked way
down from $119.99! --- and it looks interesting.  Basic stuff, nothing
fancy, but I like the "submersible" specs and the small size.  According to
West Marine's Annapolis electronics expert, the only thing you give up on
this unit is real estate for buttons, and it takes multiple keystrokes to
input information.  Any info out there?
