The consensus seems to hard over in Garmin's favor, so a follow-on question. Anyone want to offer a value comparison between the GPS-12 at about $145 and the GPS-48 at about $210? The -12 appears to be a good, all-around system with all the basics and some bells'n'whistles, while the -48 includes an updateable marine database of cities and navaids in the U.S., plus a few added features including "water resist[ance]" --- but after the totally disappointing performance of the eTrex in that department, I'm not about to accept any water tollerance specs from Garmin! It goes in a bag. Bottom line, does the marine database and the other "marine" features in the -48 warrant the additional 45% in cost over the -12?
