Summary

This chapter described several ways to protect delicate electronics while outdoors using a variety of products, both commercial and homemade.

You’ve looked at a variety of commercial products that can protect your GPS, PDA, and other delicate electronics from the worst that the environment can throw at them. Using some of the products, it is even possible to use a GPS/PDA combination while they are still in the protective case.
