Overview

The Garmin 010-11270-00 is a protective carrying case for select Garmin zumo and aera GPS units, meant for safe stowage when the device is off the mount and on its way to or from the boat. It uses a hard shell with a soft interior lining, so the screen and housing are less likely to get scuffed by tools, charging cords, or other gear in a bag.

The case closes with a zipper and has external dimensions of 165 x 110 x 40 mm, which helps when you are checking fit in a helm drawer, nav station cubby, or go bag. It is built to handle wet conditions during transport, such as rain at the dock or spray on a dinghy ride, while keeping the GPS protected when it is not in use.

Key features

• Hard-shell construction with a soft interior lining to protect the GPS screen during storage and transport
• Zip closure that keeps the case shut in a backpack, console drawer, or gear tote
• Waterproof case body for added protection when moving between the dock and the boat in wet weather
• External dimensions: 165 x 110 x 40 mm for planning stowage space on board
• Made for a range of compatible Garmin aera, SafeNav, and zumo devices (see compatibility notes below)

What’s included

• Carrying case

Compatibility and fit

This case is used with compatible Garmin aera 500, aera 510, aera 550, aera 560, and aera 660 devices, along with SafeNav Powered by Garmin, and select Garmin zumo models including zumo 340LM, 345LM, 346LMT-S, 350LM, 390LM, 395LM, 396 LMT-S, 590LM, 595LM, 660, 660LM, 665, and 665LM. If your GPS is not on this list, compare the device size to the case external dimensions before ordering.

For best fit, remove bulky cradles, mounts, or power leads before stowing the GPS. This is a storage and transport case, so the GPS is intended to be used outside the case while navigating.

Use cases on board

This case makes sense for boaters who carry a portable GPS as a backup, move electronics between a home dock and a mooring, or keep navigation gear in a grab bag when traveling. It is also a tidy way to keep a device protected in a nav desk, electronics locker, or vehicle between trips.

Maintenance and care

If the case has been exposed to salt spray or damp conditions, wipe it down with fresh water on a cloth and let it dry fully before long-term storage. Keeping the zipper area clean helps the case close smoothly and prevents grit from scratching the device when you slide it in and out.
