I am about to set off on a MC trip and bought a new tank bag that has magnetic hold-downs. I was just reading the short instruction sheet that came with it and lo and behold, it has a warning about putting electronic devices in the bag because of the magnets. Says that it might screw them up. Now they tell me.
It also says something about keeping such devices, (cell phones, laptops, etc.), as far from the magnets as possible if they are in the bag. Like near the top. I was planning on using the bag to store laptop and keep phone on top, under plastic so that I can use map, listen to music, talk on phone using ear buds, etc. It's a loooong trip.
I bought the magnetic bag so that it would be easier to bring into gas stations, restaurants, etc. They also make it with straps and some type of quick release, I'm feeling like I really fk'ed up here. No time to exchange before leaving.
Here is a pic, sorry for bad lighting. It's night time here. Magnetic deals are visible on the bottom:
Am I screwed here? TIA.
