Claim:
A memory card reader assembly for a device having a GPS component, comprising: a housing having an exterior wall and defining a first interior compartment and a second interior compartment; a jack for a memory card secured within the first compartment, the housing including a slot for enabling insertion of the memory card through the exterior wall and into the jack; a first sealing member movable into a sealing location for sealing the first compartment, including the slot, to prevent fluid entry into the first compartment; wherein the first compartment contains a memory card reader associated with the jack and an elongated, flat, flexible signal-conducting cable that extends from the jack in the first compartment and into the second compartment; and a compressible plug between the first and second compartments and including a slit through which passes the cable to enable signals to be conducted by the cable between those compartments, the plug being compressed against the cable thereby to prevent fluid in the first compartment from penetrating the second compartment in instances when liquid may have entered the first compartment such as when the first sealing member is out of the sealing location.
