I have had a Garmin GPS 12XL for several years, and I am still satisfied with it. One reason to choose Garmin over another brand is that there is more freeware and shareware software available for it on the Web. The Garmin Etrexes are very nice for on-land use, but if I had to replace my 12XL, I would get a GPS 72 or GPS 76. Unlike the Etrex line, these units float and have all control buttons on the front, which should make them easier to operate on the deck of a kayak or through a watertight bag.
