Re: [Paddlewise] Waterproof(?) electronics

Hi Peter,

I just put my Garmin GPS 72 on the deck with no protection at all. No
problems reading it so far either... even in bright sunlight and even with
my eyes.... I can read it without using reading glasses. At night I use a
small LED light with a red lens shade instead of trying to use the backlight
(which I find too bright anyway).
