My Etrex died even though I always used a drybag. It was one of those roll-down bags. While this kept the direct splashing away from the GPS, it still let in humidity. In the sun, this humidity was able to penetrate the GPS and kill it. it is possible that throwing a Silica-Gel pack in the bag would help. All I can say is: A dry bag is not sufficient.
