Its actually waterproof under IPX7, its supposed to mean water resistant to splashes and rain. Also it can be submerged into water at a 1m depth for 30 minutes. But I wouldn't try it. A friend of mine once secured his eTrex to the outside of his drybag to track our progress down a river in Mexico. We didn't down much tracking after the first day. Get a small SealLine Mapcase. For about $20 you can protect your $200 investment.
