This is slightly off-topic, but does anyone have a trick to deal with the gps when tagging while hiking trails? I carry a garmin etrex legend Cx (unfortunately not the H version) and I find that it has to be "looking" directly up and flat to get best reception. Especially around here with often good tree cover and canyons. I'm just wondering if other hikers have found something to remedy that problem. I'm always using hiking poles when on the trail, so I was thinking about something that would look like an arm-band mounted pouch that I could strap to one of my forearm, since they stay pretty level constantly during the hike. Maybe a backpack mounted option? I'm fishing for ideas here. I've tried every possible permutation of having the gps stick out of one of my pockets on pants(trousers)/coat/etc to no avail. Just for reference, I'm in the southwest USA and my main source of hiking gear is REI and Amazon.
Thanks in advance, Charles _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
