Garmin Backpack Tether (010-11855-00)

I got sick of putting my gps in my pocket as it's a bit bulky, I can't put it in a backpack as it'll loose satellite reception. This is the perfect solution, and it keeps the gps antenna pointing up the whole time while it's mounted. This is very important for me as we regularly go hiking in jungle terrain with thick tree coverage, so it helps to ensure in getting the best satellite connection as possible.

How simple is this? I have now used on a mountain bike, on a belt while doing a casual walk and on a backpack wth a more serious walk. It is excellent for all purposes. The Velcro attachment between the tether and the Gps is so robust that it will never detach from the anchor. And should it come loose the tether will ensure you won’t loose your GPS. So simple but a great solution for most active sports.

I had been looking for a system which kept my GPS easily accessible while on and off the track, without it getting in the way. This backpack tether is just what I was looking for. Velcroed to the strap of my pack, it holds the GPS steady and within easy reach. A second velcro strip allows the GPS to be removed to read and easily replaced into the tether without any issues. Just Great!

Exactly what I was looking for to mount the etrex on the shoulder strap on a backpack! Easy to put on, adjust and attach device!

Hope it’s as handy as I expect it to be.
