I've had good results with both a GPS12 and GPS60 simply by switching
the thing on, throwing it in the lid pocket of a daysack, and forgetting
about it. The GPS60's belt clip clipped to the shoulder strap of the
same bag also seems to keep it in a good position. With the belt clip on
my belt I find that I get far worse reception (although that's probably
because there's a significant amount of me for the signal to go through ;-)
