Re: [Paddlewise] Used Garmin eTrex???

Electrical tape usually leaves much less of a residue than duct tape,
but I wouldn't trust either to remain waterproof.
Aquapac or similar clear waterproof plastic bags are convenient, will
hold both the GPS and spare batteries, and will float if accidentally
dropped overboard.  Also guards against the possibility that the rest of
the unit may not be as well sealed as claimed.  Based on reports on the
GPS newsgroup the latter has been observed across all makes.
