Ah. This is why many experienced walkers have abandoned the popular
strangulation method of dangling the things around one's neck (plus, of
course, because it makes you look like a berk).
The case itself is still a Wondrous Thing, though, easily the best I've
seen of its type. If you can arrange for a pocket to pop it in where
you can grab it and replace it (holster on the back of the seat,
perhaps, or mesh pocket on the top of an accessible pannier) then you'll
still be able to grab it and crash amusingly while looking at where
you're meant to be going in the next hour rather than where you actually
/are/ going right now.
Quoted message said:b) otherwise carry maps and route sheets such that they may be easily
consulted on the move
Get a Streamer or Zipper etc. and tape the map to the inside? Though I
suspect the angle of dangle may make this a Bit Bloody Awkward to read
the map.
Pete.
