>>>I use a Garmin GPS76S.  I have also used the Voyageur waterproof cell


phone/gps case for the extra protection as well. ....  However, you might


consider the heat that is generated in this bag with the GPS running and a


bright warm day.  The unit gets too hot under these conditions in the enclosed

bag.  Any opinions?





    More of a concern to me would those occasions where moisture begins to
condense in the bag from something damp having been in there.  Then I open the
bag to let it 'breathe' for a few minutes.  


    If the bag/GPS gets too hot, I pour a little water on it....
