Ortlieb, a German maker of a series of bicycling bags, produces a
waterproof bag for their Ultimate handlebar bag
<https://www.ortlieb.com/usa_en/ultimate+F3131>
specifically for Garmins GPSmap series of GPS devices.

Being retired, I don't have a need to ride in the wet anymore and some
reasons to avoid it.  But I did a lot of riding in the rain on my
commute and during vacations.

The latter, newer photo from spring 2011 was taken here, btw.

Wasn't raining, that day. :-)

Mounting the Ortliebs GPS case on top of my Ultimate Classic worked
quite well.

Ortlieb still sells both the large map case
<https://www.ortlieb.com/usa_en/ultimate-map-case>
and the smaller bag, called "Safe-it" and somewhat hard to find without
knowing that name.

<https://www.ortlieb.com/usa_en/safe-it+D2111>

Needs a separate attachement kit for mounting on the Ultimate Classic.

"attachment set (Article No. F1420) for mounting your Safe-it to
Ultimate handlebar bags (except for the Ultimate Compact) available on
request"
