Dropped my GPS down the hole and retrieved it 8 hrs later, Is it wrecked or will it be OK?????

Theres chance its OK. You should remove the batteries right away.

Shake the water out and place by a heat register. Keep repeating the shaking and drying time.

I dropped my phone in the water and after giving it a couple days of drying it works fine.

what ever you do, don't try to turn it on while it's wet.

there's hope! I dropped my digital camera in the water for 30 seconds. emediately took the battery, and card out of it, cried like a baby and let it dry out for 4 days. IT WORKS!! the view finder is a little fuzzy, but it does great.

I also dropped my cell phone in the water for about 10 seconds, dried it out for 2 days and it works.

My electronics don't have many more lives left

Take the covers off it and dry it off then let it dry out for a day or two. It should be fine.

Most handheld GPS units are waterproof and should take a dunking. Lowrance units are water resistant but not waterproof. If you cant find your manual look it up on the manufactuers HSOforum.

What brand and model of GPS do you have.

I had one of mine get left on the floor of the boat when it was stored for the winter last year. Last spring when I found it it was under water. I took the batteries out and let it dry out for a couple days, it still had moisture on the inside of the screen so I then put it in a large ziplock with some silica packs (the moisture absorbing packs that you can buy at fleet farm). Left it in there for a week and put new batteries in it, it fired right up.
