I use a Garmin 48 and also keep mine in a waterproof pouch (Aquapac).
Garmin claims the 48 is waterproof, but the antennae worries me. Since I
have had bad luck in the past with waterproof claims (read my many posts on
my Icom VHF), I'd rather be safe than sorry. The pouch is also nice in that
it floats, has some additional UV protection, and has a lanyard attached.
It has never impeded my using the GPS.
