It is advertised as waterproof, with the usual disclaimers. I put it in my PFD pocket. The average accuracy displayed is to 16 feet. Close enough for my calculations. I paddle in the SW Washington state area. On the Columbia river I can not only track distance covered but also drift with the current and read that speed and then add or subtract it from my direction of travel. I consider the basic Etrex model to be both sensible and economical - under $150.00. Of course I also use it mounted on my motorcycle, mountain bike and beloved Subaru. FWIW I don't work for or sell for and am not connected with Garmin and/or its subsidiaries if any way, shape or form.
