Always the case :-) . > The non-skid portion is, I think, the same stuff used to keep your > carpet from slipping.

If so, I won't have it for a few weeks, at least. Long, strange story, but I have a sewing machine (old, and simple, but very functional). Getting some small pieces of oddball fabric should not be hard in Toronto's garment district (near King and Spadina), some beans (or similar filler) and making four straight seams all seems easy enough. So, three ideas worth further investigation: - A GPS holder specifically designed for the eTrex 20 - A dollar store notepad or cell phone holder adapted to hold GPS - A bean-bag made to cradle the GPS. All good stuff, thanks all. Colin. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
