Being relatively new to kayaking, I am constantly learning new tricks
and getting advice from more experienced kayakers ( the few I have found
in the DFW, TX area).  Having just recently stumbled across your list, I
thought I would get some advice on GPS systems.  I kayak down the Laguna
Madre and want to make a two week trip in July.  My problem:  I have a
hard time estimating where I am and distance to finish/turnaround
point.  I hear GPS is good and bad for this.  Anyone have advice on
economical "working" unit that might give me a clue?

Thanks!

James
