Anyone have one or heard of it? Basically you have a non-waterproof electronic device and you put it in this waterproof box. Click on the word Aqua below and it will take you to a web-site I found. Says it will work with any Ram mount. Also says the screen is flexible so you can use the touchscreen. Aqua Box

I went to www.rammounts.com and was redirected to www.gpszone.com. after speaking to a representative to confirm which parts matched this is what I was sent. Holder needed was "Medium" 4" x 6" x 1.75" (This was base on my GPS Unit dimensions, yours might be larger or smaller). ZRMHOLAQ6 Medium Aqua Box, $42.07 Mount needed was for a 1" Handel Bar ZRMB149Z-202, $28.82 Shipping was UPS 3 days $10.42 The Medium Aqua Box came with 3 self adhesive anti vibration foam pads for different thicknesses that can be added or eliminated depending on the thickness differences of Holder Aqua Box and your GPS. I then used the "Clear Rubber" face cover that allowed user to use the "Touch Screen" of the gps. I had to drill a hole in the bottom to get the power cord into the Holder Aqua Box to power the GPS. I suspected the "Clear Rubber" face cover would be less than ideal so off I went on a test ride. Yes I was right the Clear Rubber face cover was a cleaver idea but the distortion was so bad I had to spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME NOT WATCHING THE ROAD!!! Secondly th GPS was bouncing off the bottom of the Aqua Box Holder (NOT GOOD)!!! This is where the MODIFICATIONS come in. 1). Added Velcro (hooks) to the anti vibration foam pad. 2). Expoxy Velcro (loops) the the back of GPS Unit (make sure not to cover the speaker). 3). Replaced the Clear Rubber face cover with a PLEXIGLAS cut out and used a small bead of silicon to seal it in place. Now I can quickly glance at the screen and get a VERY CLEAR PICTURE from GPS Screen and the VELCRO keeps the GPS Unit suspended and not bouncing around. YES I realize I gave up the ability to use the Soft Clear Rubber Face Cover but when I think about it I always SET the GPS then drive and never would try to make GPS changes while driving anyways.

Enjoy
