Don:

About six months ago I had a problem with my Magellan ColorTrak.  Well, 
Magellan had problems with the customer service and/or quaility.   After 
writing a lengthy letter to the CEO of Magellan outlining all the 
difficulties with dealing with their service/support folks and my 
dissatisfaction with their quality much has changed.

He sent me a Map330.  I have seen a new Marine Map330 on their web site, 
but have not had the chance to use one.  The Map330 is small, waterproof (I 
carry it in on my skirt and it gets plenty wet.) and it floats (be sure and 
tether).  Garmin makes a great product from what I have seen and used, but 
have no experience with 12XL.
