It seem like I have owned every GPS Garmin has ever made that could possibly be used for paddling, starting with the 45. I believe Garmin has finally made the perfect GPS in the 60 series. I have had mine for a few weeks and have one trip into the Everglades as well as a trip to Europe. Some of the neat features: Waterproof Color 30 Hour Battery life 53 MB of memory WAAS often accurate to ten feet Rate of accent and decent (great for keeping tabs on the pilot) USB and Serial compatible Auto Routing - Load City Select and it gives you turn by turn instructions in real time, just like the more expensive units. Cost $360-$400 The only negative is that it is not compatible with the current Metroguide and consequently will not auto route, which required purchasing City Select. It will auto route with the prior version of Metro Guide. The CS version has an altimeter/barometer and electronic compass and is due out in a few weeks. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
