Accuracy is pretty good, provided the antenna can see the sky at all times, which isn't a problem when it's lying on deck in it's waterproof bag. Cheaper ones will have similar but perhaps more limited functions. I also own a GPS12XL that has a mileage counter that could be reset prior to a trip. regards, Kees *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
