You can resynchronize your timer at any time, you can do so with just one button press. The large-number display makes it easy to see data at a glance. And, like all Garmin handhelds, it's tough, IPX7 waterproof and easy to use with a few operating buttons.Zephyrhttp://www.zephyrkitesurf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117016.post-38388202063252204182009-10-24T20:46:17.871+11:002009-10-24T20:46:17.871+11:00Mat, GPS units have a waterproof rating if they ar...Mat, GPS units have a waterproof rating if they are waterproof. The Garmin Foretrex unit is rated for submersion to 1m. <br /><br />However, there is a rubber grommet that you must position over the data plug. If this is not correctly seated problems could result. <br /><br />Putting the unit in a proper waterproof bag provides better peace of mind.Peter Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11193189968913129464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117016.post-922174473434723892009-10-05T07:40:06.553+11:002009-10-05T07:40:06.553+11:00hi, shouldn't be there some kind of note on th...hi, shouldn't be there some kind of note on the gps if it's waterproof or not? i want to check my speed too when kiting and am looking for the right device atm. was this one ok for you?<br /><br />thanks<br />matMathttp://www.welovetokite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117016.post-17423801999699993112009-09-30T11:30:14.734+10:002009-09-30T11:30:14.734+10:00Cool sweet idea, thanks.Cool sweet idea, thanks.Boris Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109794946605173132noreply@blogger.com
