Maybe a Map60Sx? Smaller than the 76 series, just as sensitive, and also submersible. Down side: won't float. I've been using a Map60C for three years and really love it, but under trees, it has trouble maintaining contact with satellites. For hiking, the -x variants are supposedly much better. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
