Unless you have a mountain bike with both front and rear suspension, you might find your pda does not like the vibration and exposure.
And it's worse if you stack, I bend/warp my aero-bars often enough - my axim would shatter.

IMHO
Perhaps a wrist mount/cheap gps (easier to read when not attached to handlebars) or, if you have a capable phone and BT gps, using your phone as the interface.

I put a large keyring through the shoulder strap of my camelbak, and put my phone belt-clip through the keyring. Works well enough for phonecalls. have not used bike + gps, YET.

I personally put my BT GPS receiver and Axim in a plastic bag that goes into a hip-bag. Of course you can't read your screen, but I mainly use it for logging.
Maybe this solution is OK for road-trips but I doubt whether it'll survive mountain bike trips :)

Also, you could bag it like Fieldmarshal does and run a single earbud up if you need turn-by-turn directions.
