Looks great!. I personally use GPS both in car(occasionally) and on my boat (all the time). Can there get to be TOO much stuff in the stook cockpit?

 

Hey I was just joking but I didn't describe him personally as goofy, I said he was goofy looking!

IMO there is nothing wrong with looking goofy...

I am also considering a portable GPS solution for my S2K. I am however looking to go in a different direction and would like the opnions of others. The Street Pilot III can be purchased and delivered to my door for around $800.

I think the Street Pilot III is the best GPS bang for the buck on the planet. I however never settle for the norm

I was thinking about going with a Compaq IPAQ with a TeleType GPS solution. The total would be around $800 but I would have an IPAQ also ) You can go to http://www.teletype.com for information on thier products or http://www.mobileplanet.com for better pricing. To get the lowest prices for the IPAQ you can try http://www.pricewatch.com and select handhelds.

Sunchild which ones have you tried?

I have tried SolusPro and SA7 for the Palm VII and I agree that it is a joke. I also have Pocket Streets 2002 which worked great with my IBM Z50. Wonderfull color maps and very detailed BUT it only updates GPS info every 15 seconds!!!! What a waste! At 70mph 15 seconds is an eternity. I actually have seen teletype installed on an Ipaq 3650 and it was sweet. Address to Address routing and voice commands also! I hope to play with it some more before I plop down $800. I have also played with the Streetpilot III and it was totally amazing. I then read the review for it at http://joe.mehaffey.com/ and realized I wasn't the only one.

Thanks

Pretty nice set-up! I think I need one...."Honey where have you been?...ohh it was terrible, I got lost and ended up driving around for hours." ... or maybe not.

 

Here is my solution...

Hey Reedz, How are you attaching your mount to the car? It looks like a RAM mount, but I can't tell how it's attached to the console.

 

I used part number 9 from this web site:

http://www.cycoactive.com/gps/gallery/parts.html

I then unscrewed the upper left mounting point for the netting. I used a dremel-like tool to take off about 5 mm from the bottom of the plastic mounting circle, then placed part number 9 between the the mounting point and the body and screwed everything back in. You will also most likely need part #5, as the shorter one which comes with the stock RAM kit is too short for this particular install.
