Nuvi 500 is waterproof - the other Nuvi models are not. Charts are supposed to be available for it, but appear to be recalled due to errors in Sweden or somewhere like that. Has anyone heard when they would be available again?

I'm probably going to go for the Oregon 400c, since it is designed to do exactly what I want to do. But just wondering if anyone has experience with a pimped-out Nuvi.
