Chuck,

Can you let us know where you found a clear plastic, waterproof GPS bag 
with a cord?

I've been using my Magellan Meridian sans protection on the foredeck under 
the bungie. It's never been submersed (although it's said to float and be 
waterproof), but of course gets deck wash all the time. I just rinse it off 
and dry it after an outing.

Tom
