I'm a GPS virgin looking for a unit to guide me safely along the 111-mile Keys Paddling Trail. Would this Garmin serve me well or should I be looking in a higher price range?

I own 4 other Garmin devices and I can tell you, they make the absolute best GPS gear on the planet. I checked out a few other review sites and this is a fairly highly regarded. I also read that you should definitely update the firmware and maps from Garmin. Bottom line, this unit is waterproof and will get you where you need to go. Sounds like a win to me. No need to spend more money in my opinion.
