I've had a garmin 12 for a number of years ,works pretty good.
Couple things to keep in mind though ,,waterproof ,,,ain't nessasarily WATERPROOF ,,as I found .
Practice ,practice,practice .
Learn your new tool and it can be a valuable resourse ,but as other responder said ,,always have your compass and map as well ,,,I navigate on the foggy atlatic in a seakayak with mine ,but in my guide training ,,navigation at night in the fog ,we had to use only compass and map ,,,YUP I got us lost for couple hours,,,GREAT TRAINING ...
I use UTM settings which in the grid format on most 1:50000 maps ,,I find it better then lat and log setting ..You can also get a program called oziexplorer can do all your trip planning right off your computer ,,just do a saerch for it program can be downloaded for a fee,,but I've found it to be a great help ...good luck
