GPS attachment for scoot

Does anyone know of a cover that you can attach to the bars of a scoot for protecting your GPS and keeping it dry? Or just one that will hold the GPS securely to the bars where you can read it while you ride and just remove it if it starts raining?

Definitely. The most popular ones are the RAM mounts. I've used one for a camera and they're great; very versatile.

If you want waterproof, you can get the base mount for the handlebars or mirror stem and add an Aqua Box.

I attached my GPS to the windshield using the standard adhesive disk. It has held up for about one thousand miles so far.

This is my ram mount in Chicago near the Daley Center.

Check out this blast from the past:

In particular, read the post from KSchultz, as I found this method to work very well. I didn't go with the hamster water bottle stopper option, but instead I picked up a rubber plug from a local hardware store and drilled it out a bit.
As KSchultz mentioned, this went a long ways towards dampering out road vibrations.

I had not seen one of those. Thanks for the pic. How is it driving in a really big city? We live out in Hanover County, northeast of Richmond, Virginia. Richmond is fun to ride around and has it's challenges, but I don't imagine it is as busy as Chicago. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
