Got a Garmin Nuvi for christmas, finally got around to installing it.
Not the most high tech of mounting solutions, but cheap, clean, and effective.
In january I wired the battery to a car socket, and the car plug up through and under the tank.
Tonight I bought a 1/2 inch dowel from home depot, and cut it about two inches short of going all the way through the tube. Then I drilled a pilot through the car mount and the dowel. 2" long wood screw down the middle, then I wrapped it one layer thick of electrical tape, and plugged the hole.
Haven't ridden and used it yet, but it looks like a good spot when i'm sitting on the bike as long as the sun doesn't screw me. The electrical tape is perfect on the 1/2 inch dowel it slides in without having to worry about it getting stuck, but gives enough friction to keep it from turning on its own.

Creative answer. I'd be careful with keeping it dry.
Try covering it with a ziploc bag and see how that works for you.
