I have had mine on my belt under a jacket and it still works inside a train, so
it doesn't really matter these days.
Cheers,
Brett.

Today's receivers are so sensative that placement on the body is not as big
an issue as it was only a few years ago. I have heard of folks having their
receiver in a shirt or coat pocket and it works just fine.

Does the way the receiver is oriented effect navigation?
For example, many receivers are flat, sort of match box shaped devices.
It can sit on a table top and be "right side up" or if you carry your receiver
could be anywhere. (bag, shirt pocket, glued to your head) How critical is
that? If the receiver were fitted inside a hat oriented to face the way the
user is walking how much or is it at all better than say if it sits in the
shirt pocket. Did I read correctly that the Sendero suggested config is to
have the receiver fitted in to a shoulder strap?
I'm a little curious how that works, any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I get how it's important to be on the person etc but mainly how
critical is the way it's fitted to the person. (minus antenna characteristics,
I already get how a better sky view helps but what if the receiver is in your
bag 90 degrees to the right??)
Thanks
