A great bit of kit but my bigest gripe is that the neck strap is secured the wrong way round. Grab it, lift to look at map, it's upside down! Small fault but very annoying.

Take it off from around your neck. Turn the landyard round 180 degress ona vertical axis and put it back on so that the screen lies against your chest. Then when you want to look at it the map will be the right way up.

Thanks for your idea, but what is the point of looking at the battery compartment all the time. Wearing it that way round will also cause damage to the screen eventually.

You need to a nice soft yummy tummy for it to wobble against!

 FWIW, I keep a small GPS in a pouch that hangs off one of the shoulder straps. If you want the screen to be visible all the time, maybe you can adapt strap-a-map-to-me to hold the GPS there.
