I was just wondering with these GPS units, where do you put them while you sail? Can you see the screen while on the wire? I've never used a GPS and am toying with the idea of getting one.

Thanks,

For this year's Tybee, we put a Garmin 72 GPS taped to the boom in a dry bag - it gave me a decent reference when the sun wasn't shinning on it (then I couldn't read it through the glare). Frank carried a Garmin Etrex Legend in his lifevest pocket and did teh majority of the navigation from the wire. I saw that Spacecoast had taped two Garmin Gecko's (tiny little things) to each shroud - I thought that was a neat idea but I have my doubts if it would survive being submerged during a capsize.
