I've had an old Garmin for years, and have always found it to be waterproof. The hazard is that it doesn't float! Plus, like any computer, it doesn't like to dropped. My solution is one of these little rubber cases with a velcro closure that floats. I keep my gps, my waterproof binoculars and my vhf (in a waterproof case) right in front of me in my deckback, which improbably has also proved to be waterproof (as long as I keep it zipped up). Oh, and the binoculars will sink too if you give them an opportunity. My solution was to attach a little red and white fising float to the strap. Helps me find them in the deck bag, too. douglas sf *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
