i cut a 4 inch or so piece of 1 inch plastic conduit, filed out a half circle in the middle on the piece, lap joint to the stem at right angles, drilled four holes, laced a ziptie on the upper and lower portions and tightened around the stem. cheap as most materials were from scrap. i mount a computer on one side of the stem and a light on the other.

Depends on the mount. The "bike mount" for an Dakota 20 fits perfectly on the riser. I also had an eTrex mounted on my handlebar close to the stem and had no knee problems.

A goods should work on the stem if the gps is not too wide. I have an
Oregon 450 mounted the stem of my Bacchetta Ti Aero. Sometimes my legs bump
it but it's no big deal.
I think problems you might encounter are the viewing angle of the screen
and glare. My Aero's stem is curved in just the right place so I have been
able find a good angle for the gps by sliding it slightly up and down on
the curved region. For the stem in the picture you linked you might need an
adjustable bracket.
Ps. The mount for an Oregon is quite robust. I think dakotas use the same
mount. Other things will pop off your bike before one of those gpss is
dislodged.
