Thread: Issues with the magnets of bino carry packs and the gps/ compass

Hi,
I recently acquired one of those front pouch for my binos and also to old my gps and other stuff.
I got a hunter element but I think the problem is similar with other brands that are using magnets.

It completely stuff up the compass inside gps and the needle on a compass.
As anyone else noticed that?
Try it for yourself, bring a compass close to your pouch and you will see what I am talking about.

What solution have you found to alleviate the problem? I am thinking about removing those magnets and maybe fitting a piece of Velcro.
