I have seen a number of people with GPSs, mobile phones and all sorts of 
other things velcroed to their spray decks no problem.

You could attach it to your PFD on the front of your shoulder in such a 
way that you can read it on the move if you were keen - with a lanyard 
to ensure it doesn't go walkies. Velcro would probably do the job. My 
Etrex comes with a clip for mounting it onto bike handlebars which is 
very secure and quick to put on and off. Perhaps you could modify such a 
bracket for such a use.

Or look at bifocal sunglasses?

Richard.
