I think you may be better of with the later generation of Garmins, smaller and easier to use with the same level of water resistance as the 12XL. I have the 12 MAP which I download the topo CD to and find the mapping features invaluable, not only for kayaking, but also for driving and cycling. The topos show water depth, are highly detailed and accurate to 10 to 20 feet. I fin't the lack of an antenna port (for airline use) a problem on the Legends, etc but there's a new generation about to be launched which has the best of all worlds. I think it's the S3 series but I could be mistaken. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
