Hello

I've been away from the list for a while, and am now renewing my paddling 
activities.

I didn't see anything very recent in the archives on this subject, so I 
thought I would bring it up.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced GPS unit that would be suitable for use 
on a boat (canoe or kayak), and was wondering what's the latest consensus 
on the units that are available today.

As a basis for discussion, I'm kinda leaning towards the Garmin 12 or 
12XL.  I would like to know if the extra cost of the 12XL is worth the money.

Of course, any comment on other units are welcome.

Thanx

Don Herring
