Hand held GPS - where's yours?

My GolfLogix is based on Garmin eTrex hardware so most Garmin accessories work with it. It has a screw in lug on the back of the unit that is used for several different attachment options. I bought a spring carabiner and strap that has a quick release clip for the GPS attached to it. It's easy to snap it on and off the clip, yet it's held securely in place. The carabiner is large enough to clip most anywhere on the bag, or even on a belt loop if you want to take it someplace well away from your bag.

I have the Skycaddie SG5 and

Mine is on my iphone, so naturally it just sits in my pocked of my pants or on the outside pocket. The phone is slim and light enough that it has never bothered me during the swing while its in my pocket

Same here.

This is a really bad idea that will affect your GPS accuracy dramatically. Putting a GPS device in your pocket or wearing it on a belt clip kills satellite reception. Close proximity to the human body de-tunes the antenna and you'll lose about half the satellites you were receiving when the device is out in the open. You'll also lose the SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, etc.) satellite which is what allows the GPS receiver to typically be accurate +/- 3 ft. or less. For roadmap level accuracy that's fine but it kills the precision you want on a golf course. It takes about 15-30 seconds typically (sometimes longer) to re-acquire the satellites and SBAS signals once the receiver is out in the open again.
