My GPS-II is the Garmin 12 in a cooler package, with an external antenna. It's a great little unit, and acquires position quite quickly. The II Plus is still available in the same package for about $250, and is feature idential to the 12XL. Garmin can't be beat in GPS. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
