Magnetic GPS Pouch

Does anyone make any kind of magnetic pouch for a GPS to possibly attach to the tank? I have searched but with no luck. Any information would be appreciated.

I used a T-bags magnetic map pouch to hold mine. Worked great, but now I have a handle bar mount.

I know Harley has a few different styles. I use one for my iPhone when using the GPS.

IDK about that. I have a magnetic pouch for my tank that holds my sunglasses, ID & Cards, Iphone and my Glock 26. Even with all of that weight in it, it stays right there and never moves.

Regardless OP, I would search the GPS manufacturer's site to see what is available. Before I got my handlebar mount, I used to use my Garmin suction cup mount on the tank and that worked fine in the mean time. But I certainly wouldn't trust it for the long term.

+1. My GPS is my phone, so I use one of these. Worked great on a weeklong tour. Bottom is rubber so it doesn't scratch the tank or slip. It was rock solid at highway speeds (plus some). You can get them at the dealer. They are called "Boom Audio Pouch" or something like that. Part No. 76000193.
