Bear in mind that the GPS V is water restistant to 1 m and won't be
harmed by salt water spray.

The waterproof spec that is used is a static test. Dynamic
water pressure such as that caused by splashes, or by dropping
the GPS into water, can easily exceed the spec, so the GPS
may not be 'waterproof' in your usage.
