Thought I would create a place just to throw up interesting things that we may come across.

Very cool. Too bad it only works with the soon to be discontinued SporTraks. I like the low profile of the mount compared to the suction cup Ram Mount I use for my Meriplat.WCoaster said:

That is a cool idea. I use a RAM mount for my SportTrak Map (or occasionally my Vista or 76S) much like Steve does, and find it's just perfect. I seem to push my paddle farther away from me (over the deck) in tougher weather or if I'm paddling hard, so I like to keep the GPS well away from me so I don't hit it. I'm sure the design of the kayak is different, but if mine were 'built in' where that one is I'd hit it constantly.
I think it would also get in the way of or at least eat up some of the under deck strage tray space.
It does look cool though. In a Bond sort of way.
I wonder if the manufacturer would consider adding to there line? I guess all those odd GPS toting kayakers will have to send inquiries and create the demand. :idea:

Found this sight today.
It is a subject near to my heart as those of you who know me, or watched Dan and I pile the gear and our mass into his double for a weekend up Indian Arm, can attest. 8O
PS where is the Indian Arm Gallery by the way :?: I have a lot of pics if you would like some.

Pretty good design, now why the heck didn't I think of that. Now I just need models for the Magellan Meridian line and a Garmin GPS Map76S and I'm all set :lol:

I picked up the GPS housing for the Etrex today at Vancouver Island Canoe and Kayak. It is a great little unit. I look forward to taking it out tomorrow. Fits perfectly and leaves access to all the buttons.

Cool - mind if I ask what you paid for it?

I paid 26.50 plus taxes - seems like a lot for a hunk of foam and bungies, but it is great. I used it for a 20 km paddle today and it did a great job. The buttons are easy to access and the GPS is held at a good angle. It fits like a glove. I have a hunch that if I tried to make one myself, I would take at least an hour to make it and then it would not fit right. When tied in as shown on the web page, the unit is secure.CuriousGeorge said:
This setup works particularly well for the Etrex since the Etrex is so small. Larger GPS units might be too tall.

That appears to be a sort of locking 12v accessory plug - like what you'd find in your car (except that this one won't light cigarettes!) but with a locking collar so it won't get pulled out accidentally.
