Looks to me more like a stain or blemish more so than some structural defect. Unfortunately these tops are so easy to scuff and mark up.

It looks like it is probably just held there with some double sided tape. I would peel it off and look for some model number or similar type info on the underside, google that and confirm it is a GPS unit. Once confirmed, it can just be removed entirely.
