How to attach GPS?

[Vids]

I have a bit of a dilemma with my GPS. None of the GPS pouches that I see available are big enough to fit my older Rino 530 HcX. The antenna sticks up too far for any of these to zip closed. I've looked at Kifaru, Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier, Garmin and Exo accessories. My preference is to carry my GPS on my belt and have it handy for navigating.

The only thing I can find is the Stone Glacier large belt pouch, and I also have a HPG gear bag but I don't like to carry that all the time.

I have an Exo 5500 and their belt pouches are too small. The Kifaru small belt pouch worked well when I had a Kifaru, but that attaches to PALS webbing and my Exo pack doesn't have that.

I'm curious to hear what other ideas people have come up with. Please let me know what system has worked for you if you've had the same issue.

Have you looked at the FHF gps pocket? I have one and my Rino 650 fits in it even with the akaline battery pack on it. It works great on a duplex belt.

Does it attach with pals webbing or to a belt?

Go on Ebay and look for Eagle Industries 5.56 Mag pouch. They can carry all kinds of stuff.

Seconded. Though you will need the ladder panel or similar to attach to the shoulder harness.

Since they are waterproof, I just use a clip sorta deal that slides onto my shoulder strap and then I can easily unclip and clip on my rhino.

I just keep my Garmin 60Csx in my front right pants pocket if I think I'm going to be needing it. Otherwise it's in my pack. But I don't like a bunch of extra belt pockets and stuff attached to me. My RF goes in my front left pants pocket.

My 62st has a strap and carabiner that can attach to pack strap.
Something like this;

I have a clip also. I am worried about the glare off of the screen when the battery pack is on. With the LI battery, it seems to sag down enough I don't get a sun glare. I may look for a pouch myself. I need to get off the radio so much anyway.

The FHF pouch will attach to a regular belt without pals webbing. I have had it on a Stone Glacier with no problems at all.

FHF rino gps pouch mounted on a kifaru duplex holds my garmin 62s with no issues.

Viam Outddors might have a pouch that will work and he will work with you on an attaching system to fit your needs

Here is a 650hcx in an FHF pouch on a MR Nice frame belt.[/QUOTE]
Correction. 530 HCX. Will also fit a 650 as well.

Thank you for all the responses! Looks like there are some good options out there that I hadn't found yet...

these had intrigued me to put on a shoulder strap.
i also like that they are so light and un obtrusive that you wouldn't really notice it if you had the GPS out in your hand walking or something.

I use the fhf on my EXO and it works great

I just clip mine on my shoulder strap using the 'biner.
