Overview

The Garmin 010-10117-02 is a black nylon carrying case that keeps a handheld GPS protected and easy to grab when you are moving between the dock, the cockpit, and the tender.

The case measures 7.4 in x 3.0 in x 1.4 in (18.8 cm x 7.6 cm x 3.6 cm) and closes with a zipper opening that runs wide, so you are not fighting the case when you need to stow or pull the unit quickly. A belt loop on the back lets you keep the GPS on your person instead of sliding around in a nav bag or console drawer.

This is a soft, zippered case for everyday protection from scuffs and knocks. It is not a sealed waterproof enclosure, so plan on separate water protection if the GPS will be exposed to heavy spray or full immersion.

Key features

• Case size: 7.4 in x 3.0 in x 1.4 in (18.8 cm x 7.6 cm x 3.6 cm) for many handheld GPS form factors
• Black nylon exterior with a zippered closure for quick stowage and access
• Wide opening makes it easier to slide a handheld in and out, even with cold or wet hands
• Belt loop on the back for carrying on a belt or strap while underway or on shore
• Helps reduce scuffs and impact marks when the GPS is stored in a gear bag, chart table drawer, or console compartment

Compatibility and fit

This case fits a wide range of Garmin handheld GPS units, including many GPSMAP handheld models (such as the 60, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 76, 78, 79, 86, and 96 series) and Montana 6xx models, along with other similarly sized Garmin handhelds. It is also used with several Garmin handheld GPS and radio combinations in the Rino line.

For the cleanest fit, compare your device dimensions to the case size and account for anything that adds bulk, such as thick protective skins, oversized lanyard knots, or mounting spines. This case is not sized for the Montana 700 series.

Use cases on board

This case is a practical add-on for boats that keep a handheld GPS as a backup to the main plotter, for a ditch bag, or for taking position and route data into the tender. It also suits anglers and cruisers who carry a handheld in the cockpit and want it protected when it is set down on fiberglass, teak, or nonskid.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater exposure, rinse the outside of the case with fresh water and let it dry fully with the zipper open before storing a device inside. Keeping the case dry helps prevent trapped moisture in lockers and reduces the chance of corrosion on the handheld’s contacts and accessories.
