Weatherproofing a GPS

[Konrad]

The built-in GPS on my 2006 GL1800 is out-dated and difficult to operate and I much prefer my Garmin 1390T which I have mounted with a cradle and RAM mount on the left handlebar.

The problem, of course, is that the Garmin is not weatherproof. Besides covering it with a baggie does anyone have an alternative solution or know of a suitable third-party cover?

I use one of these for my Magellan. It works quite well. I switched to it after I lost my last one hitting a pothole on a trip to Niagara Falls. This one leaves nothing to chance, as well as waterproofing.

I use a zip lock bag over mine. I can see it quite well through the bag. RAM mount to the handle bars.

Looks good but I've run my TomTom XL naked through driving rain with no problem. The combination of the windshield and speed keeps the rain off it. Mind you that when I stop for long periods (gas, food, head call) I do slide it into one of my windshield pouches until I ready to hit the road again.

I too use a small zip lock bag and just pull it tight. Then I take a 6" velcro strap and gather up the excess baggie and rap the velcro strap around it so the baggie won't fly off. Cheap, easy and you can carry spares.

How does it seal the power cord ? They don't show it being plugged in.
