HI,
I have a trusty Garmin GPS 12 XL and it came supplied with a carry case. The
unit works fine inside the case. The case has a belt strap which I fastn to
the shoulder strap on my pack, works fine.

I would either strap it to a hat (bad from a fashion and silliness sense,
but would work) or would attach it to a backback- preferably one with a
physical frame.

I would think either one of these units would fit in a pocket and work
while
in there. Aside from kayaking and scuba almost all my other uses of GPS
require the unit to be placed in a pocket.

Give it a try

I just recently bought 2 gps units (Garmin 76S and the Magellan
Sportrak
Pro) to compare them both and then return one w/in the week. I will
primarily be using it for hiking and in the car.

My problem is this....how are these units supposed to be used
practically
on
the trail? Nobody wants to hike up a mountain with 50 lbs. on their
back
while holding a gps in the vertical position so that it can keep a
lock....I
want to be able to put it in my pocket or my backpack, arrive at my
destination, whip out my gps and be able to follow an exact route of
where
I've been. But alas, this does not seem to be plausible comsidering
the
strength of these two units.

Since I have not had these units in the field yet, will someone please
offer
me some insight on how they can apply to my outdoor adventures? If I
want
gps coverage, do I now have to forfeit a hand? Did I buy the wrong
units?...which would be better?

Thanks in advance,
Wes
