I've had my Garmin GPS 72 out often this season with no visible water ingress. I haven't rolled with it but it's dipped itself into the water at least twice with no harmful effects. Two lemons in a row are a bit much but I suppose anything is possible. I really like the 72 ... easy to see, simple controls, tides, and a map tracking ability. The trip-meter with the moving and the stopped (ahem!) times accumulated and average for total time and time moving is especially nice. Sometimes I dawdle. :P Craig Jungers Royal City, WA On 10/6/06, Brian Curtiss <bc_at_asdi.com> wrote: <snip> > Have I just gotten two lemons, or are Garmin's > IPX7 gps units really not on par with Icom's > JPX-7 radios?
