As is the situation with most waterproof products, GPS systems are waterproof to an extent. While most hand-held systems are considered to be waterproof, the amount of water the system can tolerate without starting to malfunction is small. Being in rain for a few minutes shouldn't destroy the product, but drop it in a lake or the ocean, and chances are that it will not work...that's if it can even be recovered.
