+meralgia Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 In which hand do you enter coords and/or use your GPS? Although I'm right-handed, I enter coords and navigate with my left. I have a "little blue" Garmin. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The eTrex units are designed to be held in the left hand, but I use mine in my right. Most other units don't prefer one hand or another and I also use my right hand for those as well. Quote Link to comment
+TrailGators Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I use my right hand. My left hand doesn't seem to work as well as my right hand. I've had this issue since I was born. Quote Link to comment
+Zolgar Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Both. Usually for idle watching it's in the left. Often in the left while I'm walking somewhere.. If I'm actually doing something with it (like entering information, or telling it to goto) usually the right. If I'm in a car, it's usually in whichever hand has the window, because I have to hang it out the window for a moment to pick up my signal most of the time. If I know more or less where I'm going and don't need the GPSr yet, it's hooked to my belt/backpack/hydration pack. And sometimes I hand it to Roo and say "Fine, YOU find the cache." (Roo, BwarRoo, is the guy I usually cache with. he lacks a GPSr as of yet.) Quote Link to comment
+KJcachers Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 GPS in the right, hiking stick in the left. Quote Link to comment
+Stargazer22 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 GPSr in the left hand, hiking stick in the right hand. Lunch with both hands! Quote Link to comment
+nekom Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I put coordinates in with the right hand, but navigate and hold it with the left usualy. Right hand is for taking pictures. Quote Link to comment
+infiniteMPG Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hiking stick in right hand twarting spider webs, GPS in left hand to enter data with right. But belt clip more comfortable on right side so right hand for a quick coord/direction check. Still looking for GPS mount to go on top of hiking stick so I don't step on resting snakes again... focus! ::sigh:: Quote Link to comment
+Too Tall John Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Generally right hand, but if I'm tired of using the hiking stick with the right, I'll switch. Usually not for long, as the belt clip is on the right, and I usually have the lanyard carabinered to a belt loop on the right, in case I drop it. I ran into one cacher on the trail who had mounted his GPSr onto his hiking stick, he could answer "None!" Quote Link to comment
Cape Cod Cacher Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 "old School" gps 48. Hold in right hand and button (verb) with thumb. Am-beer-dexterous afterwards. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 GPSMAP 76CSx Walking: Left Driving: Left (the mount is on the dash to the left of the steering wheel) Entering Coordinates: Right Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 GPS 12 / Rino 110 / GPSMAP 60csx Either - it depends on which hand is holding on to the hillside... But most commonly the right hand, though I've trained my left to do just about everything the right can do but write (except on the keyboard when I write with both ). Quote Link to comment
bogleman Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 working - right hand (index finger & thumb) viewing - left hand Most of the time I keep my GPS in my outer left pocket and pull it out when I need to look at the numbers Quote Link to comment
+skeezicks Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The right when I'm walking or navigating and the left when I'm entering coords or something using the thumb stick. Quote Link to comment

+Blaidd-Drwg Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 A GPSMAP60CSX carried in my left hand. Quote Link to comment
+Robespierre Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You wear the mitt on the left hand so the right hand is free to throw the ball. Quote Link to comment
+Annie & PB Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Right hand for walking along. Left hand for entering co-ords. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 At first I thought that this was surely a joke. I no longer believe that. Quote Link to comment
+Too Tall John Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Who needs hands?Dude! Keep letting people know those are available here in NH and we'll have a serious supply problem! Quote Link to comment
