We of course tried this before finalizing the case. Should have known Kevin would think of this too. Lots of devices have magnets on them these days. The force is so slight there isn't a problem around media sources.

Ah, Kevin, you're a brave soul, a true scientist and experimenter! Nothing like good old empirical evidence to find out what happens if...Thanks, and I'm so glad your card was not wiped out!

I took my CompactFlash card out of my PK and slid both sides of the card on both sides of the magnet and placed it back into the PK and things are still working. So, I would say that there isn't anything to worry about and if there were then I wouldn't imagine that they wouldn't have used magnets in the case to begin with.

By the way, I have not had much chance to experiment with my gps, and had it since November. HAVE been tied up with my elderly mother's paperwork, but today took it out on a drive, in a car and it did great! So nice to know what I'm passing while being driven around the town. This is truly wonderful. Karen and Harpo with greater understanding now.----- Original Message ----- From: "alice dampman" <alicedh@xxxxxxxxxxx To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:16:16 -0400 Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: ew leather caseThis case for the PK sounds very nice indeed. Someone asked awhile back,though, if the magnetic closures have any negative effect onstorage cardsoranything like that, you know, I guess rather like the way magnetshave a badeffect on computers and should be kept away from them? Doesanyone know theanswer to this question? I don't ever remember seeing ananswer...Thanks.
