Hater- I forgot to mention buoyancy as another desirable feature. My GPSmap 76 is waterproof & it floats. It's never been over the side, but once I found it floating in the minnow bucket! By comparison, a friend's handheld GPS drowned in a sudden cloudburst. We made it back to the truck & sat out the 20 min. storm, but the 2" of rain in the bottom of my boat killed his non-waterproof GPS.
