is anyone using one? there are plenty of dashboard holders for ipaqs
and the like, but what about something for bike mounting? presumably
the map pocket on a tank back would be a no-no because of the magnets.
and obviously rain would have to be taken into consideration.

I use my Axim PDA and GPS inside the map pocket on the tank bag with no
problems. At the moment I'm only using Pocket Streets (bundled with
Autoroute), but it only tells you where you are on a map, it doesn't give
directions, so I may upgrade sometime.
