Yes, that ^^^ ... me too...

Whenever I use the GPS I click it on the base and if Im on a trip, I use the same water proof cover that you do.
Best of all (and trust me I am not cheap) I buy the cheapest and smallest GARMIN GPS for two reasons.
1. I could care less what happens to it, meaning if it got stolen or whatever. I dont need to be paranoid about leaving it on the bike when traveling.
2. The smaller the better for me, sits on a handle bar mount of my Road King, all I need from a GPS is to tell me which way to go, time and distance.
I have no desire for more electronics as my bike is my salvation from electronics in my world, I in the security industry and as much as I love my field, I also love my time off.

As a side note, as normal in the USA, people always buy bigger for some reason, so its getting hard to find small screen GPS, which is retarted.
MY Garmin is less then a 3 inch screen, fantastic. But the public thinks they are getting a deal on large screens, when the large screens, all they are for, is for the maker to sell more [censored] on the screen.
Click-This is the size I have, though I... bought anymore
Funny thing is, Garmin, shoots themselves in the foot, as you can use a phone GPS in a more compact version they what Garmin now sells.
Maybe its just me and no one else wants a simple small screen with arrows.
With the above said, I would only buy Garmin, no matter what model.
