Philip Torrens noted, "our Q.C. guy said that Garmin was guite candid that the electronics area is sealed, but the battery compartment is not always waterproof; Garmin did not seem to consider this a "state secret" or a defect......"

"If you want to go straight to the source, why not submit a question to the tech support through Garmin's web site (www.garmin.com)? I submitted a couple of questions about my GPS12 (which I always carry in an Aqua-Pac when kayaking) re Y2K and the year-end rollover, and I got polite and helpful replys within hours."

Good idea.  Tried calling them, but was on hold in their call center for an extended time listening to music.  Emailed the question in.  (The site said that it could take five to seven days to get out a response.)  Will post the results.
