I'll second the idea of the waterproof pouch but throw in one caveat. A friend of received the wonderful gift of one of the Garmin mapping units. The problem is that it has a little joystick as its primary interface. Put one of these into a pouch and you run into problems. On the Garmin unit the joystick can also be depressed as the "enter" button so that in addition to moving constantly it was always selecting things. You could solve this by getting one of those small dry boxes but then you'd have to open it to control the unit. You could also put some foam (like a foot corn pad) or something around the joystick so that the bag is lifted away from the joystick. -Patick (still using the old Garmin 48 with the marine database) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
