At least the buttons on the Satmap look as if they can be operated ok from such a bag.<br /><br />Right, back to trying to resolve the 'Northern Walker' link nightmare - I'm baffled by the fact that I can remove the visible link by editing the blogger design, but the bad link remains hidden in the web code you can view when you right click on the blogger web page. I can't seem to find a way of removing the offending code and I don't understand the 'webspeak' in the link provided by Robert. Meanwhile, Google Chrome no doubt continues to tell my visitors that my site may contain malware, without the courtesy of informing me of this problem (not of my making) or advising on how I can resolve it. I suppose the problem is that the blog is hosted on a Google website. If it was my own website I would simply delete the offending very small section of code.<br />Ho hum.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-79207420713157975422011-11-02T08:27:11.260+00:002011-11-02T08:27:11.260+00:00Martin,

This GPS is NOT waterproof and is barely showerproof. <br />My advice is always treat it as completely non waterproof. Water and electrical componants do not mix.<br />Buy a decent clear not opaque waterproof bag such as Aquapac or similar. They are a bit expensive but i believe it’s a worthy buy.<br />I bought the Gelert waterproof bags which are cheaper and work but they are opaque and i wish i had bought the clear aquapac now.<br />My unit got drowned inside my waterproof jacket and the screen looked like a miniature swimming pool. I thought it was doomed but it revived.

Especially when you have to change it in the field.<br />I would recommend getting a spare Lipol battery. The battery connector is also a bit fiddly and i use an automotive fuse puller to remove it.<br />It's good fun otherwise.<br />Hope you had a good weekend up north.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-44358479651507820372011-10-29T00:56:44.539+01:002011-10-29T00:56:44.539+01:00Thanks Geoff, I'll try to sort out the problem...Thanks Geoff, I'll try to sort out the problem when I get home on Monday.
