GuFaZi Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I love my Garmin GPSMAP 76 CSx. I use it in the car on the boat and while hiking and geocaching. Lately, on some more extended hikes, I've gotten a little tired of holding it, bouncing on my chest or crowding up my pockets. Does anyone make a belt clip or something similar for the 76 series?

Ever tried duck tape or a stapler? SCNR Looks like this is the best you can get. Oliver Quote
GuFaZi Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 Looks like this is the best you can get. Oliver Thanks. That might do. Anybody have any experience with RAM products? Quote
+embra Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 RAM has great quality products. I wasn't aware that they had anything for wearing, though. Quote
Grasscatcher Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Look for a case made by "GPS Outfitters" Cabela's and also other places online. Has strap on back for wearing on belt, also has removable shoulder strap, side mesh pockets for extra batteries, and front zip pocket for whatever. (I carry my external antenna there, also a magnetic compass) Quote

GuFaZi Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 Grasscatcher and strumble - both great ideas, thanks! Quote
+phask Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I use a 60 with the belt clip - nut I also use a fanny pack setup with pockets when on a hike in cache. I also have one of these as added insurance. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...n&noImage=0 Not to plug Cabelas, but that's the only place I've seen it. You can drop it from the waist and it will fall short of the ground - unless you are 3' tall. Neat Item. Quote
robertlipe Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I've had great luck with the Cartom product discussed at http://www.mtgc.org/robertlipe/GPS_Cases/ The one for the 72/76 fits the 76csx just fine. Quote
+Thrak Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) I use one like this. It has a loop on the back and I simply hook a carabiner through the loop and then you can hang if off of a belt loop, a backpack strap, or whatever you like. Works for me. Garmin's web site has 19 pages listed when you search for carrying case Edited May 30, 2007 by Thrak Quote
+JabbaTHutt Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Actually this is a very nice case and has a slip on belt clip on the back. http://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/zip76case.htm It is not shown there but if you really want to see it I can take a picture of mine and post it. Here is what it looks like but doesn't have the swivel on it. http://www.mtgc.org/robertlipe/GPS_Cases/image057.jpg I love my Garmin GPSMAP 76 CSx.
