satnav waterproof case / mount

If it doesn't rain I am fine. Hoping to use it to navigate a route to the AR. So going on past years, I'm going to be needing the waterproof cover.

Looks good but as only use gps now and again thought I'd go for a usb charger as can also use to charge phone etc as well on the move and kids can power psp etc with it on hols

I currently use my tomtom 910 when out on the bike. I actually use the windscreen sucker mount on the inside of the windscreen on the bike and have covered plenty of miles without it coming off. The question I have is does this cover allow for the connection of the sucker mount? Does it have a hole in the back allowing me to still connect it to the mount?

Cheers.

case has 2 parts top part to put sat nav in , behind is storage , there is a water proof zip where you can put cable through

Cheers Steve

Ive got one of the below from buybits, not bad but mine was shipped with the handle bar mount upside down.
Quick email to the supplier & they confirmed the felt pad that covers the mount plate peals off & the plate can be unscrewed & flipped (took 5 mins).

Seems sturdy & to date no leeks.

NOTE: Picked up a cheap sat nav from morrisons (£50) and fitted a headphone socket (from some old headphones), works like a dream.

This is what I did, sub £10 for waterproof cig lighter socket, fuse and wiring (2 mins fitting) and I bought a 2nd hand waterproof case which has a ram mount fitted to my yokes (£20) + satnav which was free (if you have a smart phone you could use that). Used it for 5 hours back from scotland t'other week, glare from the sun is a bit of a bitch at times but didn't make it unusable and hey that's like one day a year in britain...

I still have not found a solution for my satnav. I guess I will just have to bodge something.

Someone mentioned to me the other day about GPS holding arm bands you strap around yuor forearm.

I havent even bothered to google it, just chucking the idea into the mix...
