Would recommend avoiding the eTrex by Garmin. It's relatively inexpensive, and it is claimed to be waterproof, but Garmin is talking only of the receiver and not of the battery compartment --- which will flood and short out in a heavy fog! And they know and acknowledge that! But they still claim it's waterproof. Garmin has good products, but the eTrex is one to avoid.
