How do you carry your GPS? I used to have a little camera bag on my hip belt for my eTrex 10, but it is now too small for my new GPS.

Do you guys know who makes a hip-belt pocket that works with Stone Glacier Krux frame that is big enough to put a Garmin 64s GPS?
I know SG and Kuiu both make these accessories pockets, but i don't think they're big enough to hold a GPS.

The 64s is 6" and change in length.

The closest i found is this one from exo, that claims 5.5" length. Not sure if it would fit. Is there a local place to buy such things? I looked on MEC site but couldn't find anything.

The hip pockets that I have for my Stone Glacier 6900 Talus carries my 64S no problem. I carry it on one side and my digital camera in the pocket on the other side. Hope this helps.

Awesome. Helps a lot because according to the dimensions on their site it sounds a tad too small. Glad I asked.

Cheers man!

i run mine on the left shoulder strap of my pack, garmin makes an attachment that clips on. I also attach it with a bungee tether incase it falls off.

Stoney Creek in New Zealand makes several different sizes. Faster and cheaper shipping from there than the U.S. as well.

I thought about this too but the carabiner clip is sometimes annoying to unclip. Also was thinking having it dangle around as I'm hiking might be annoying.... i guess you don't find it annoying?

Or are you talking about the belt clip?
