Most GPS enthusiasts understand the still-emerging technology of the satellite navigation system, whereby terrestial receivers combine signals from four GPS satellites and pinpoint positions in three dimensions.
Many casual observers now know that many vehicles come with GPS installed. This site is concerned with the two groups of Handheld GPS receivers: For Positioning and for Mapping. A third variety is now coming to market: The GPS/PDA combination, containing data downloaded from a PC for appointments, addresses, and computing as well as the positioning and mapping function. There is a link to one of those, the Garmin iQue, on this page. Next will come two-way wireless communication with information going both ways in real time, including the Web and e-mail.
The major developers of GPS, including handheld GPS receivers are Garmin and Magellen. We list the pioneers alphabetically because we intend to make unbiased reports and reviews of their GPS receivers on this page in the future, along with the handheld GPS units of a third company: Lowrance. Other GPS makers may emerge and will appear on this page - at your prompting.
While some retailers offer carrying cases for handheld GPS receivers, our intention, as the designers and producers of over a million protective carrying cases for portable electronics, is to present the extreme advantages of carrying your GPS unit in the Pouch. While it's fun to show off your GPS - any case, even those made of thin plastic or leather, is highly recommended by all concerned - especially those who damaged their handheld unit in a drop or a ding. With the new, larger color displays, we cannot stress too highly the danger and cost of repair to the delicate, easily damaged screens on all GPS receivers. It's a fact: plastic cracks and leather doesn't like weather. Of equal concern is the abraision caused by stiff nylon Cordura, used for many kinds of carrying cases, where in a short period of time, printing on controls quickly become illegible and often is erased!

There is a rugged web belt-loop on the back of The Pouch for GPS receivers that is securely closed with a spear-in buckle that will lock the carrying case onto a belt or any other carrying strap. A high-quality spring steel belt clip is also available for just $1.00.
We design each GPS Pouch to fit the exact dimensions of each GPS receiver. With the padded front flap secured with a large velcro strip, the manner in which the GPS unit is securely held is not matched by any other GPS case.
The factory-direct price for the Pouch to fit your GPS receiver is $29.95 in basic black, or just for fun - for $2.00 more, you can pick from a variety of available colors.
