I use the Destinator3 Australian Version, Identical setup though...

I love my PDA, it's my diary, Nav system and Scantool and 1/4 mile tester all in one..

I have mine in a spare sleeve with Velcro on it. I have another bit of velcro tagged to my Mobile phone presenter, and this makes it neeeaaarly legal to use whilst driving..

GPS unit will work in the little pocket under the radio. I find with my driving it could end up out the window if I leave it on the dash..

BTW< sorry to hi-jack, but I have a Bluetooth GPS unit and GPS Software (Destinator) for Sale in Perth if anyone wants it-> $250 all inclusive.

heh. That's why I have a little windscreen mount for my receiver. Sits above the rear view mirror nicely where it has a full view of the sky (for good reception) and doesn't distract me when driving.

I have the same setup in the ute. I pulled the passenger airbag panel out (No passenger airbag in the ute) and cable tied the GPS receiver to the intrusion bar, it works a treat. I have a powered cradle that also supplies the power to the GPS receiver so I don't need to access it.

navman products are pretty good, I have the old icn 630 in my car, if u do a search u can see my setup. The reason for the post is I sell them & can get all navman products & software at nearly cost price for you, pm me if interested.

I use a dell x30 PPC, bluetooth gps and destinator 3 Software. Mounts to my window with a suction cup holder and the bluetooth module just sits on the dash. Using the ciggarette lighter to power both using usb.

The PDA is fixed to the dash with 3M clip lock which is a new type of velcro. it is purchased in stick-on strips about 60mm long / 20mm wide and can be cut to size so no hole need to be drilled and can be removed at any time with damage.

The cliplock system has the same male and female surface so you dont get the fuzzy side like traditional velcro.

I also stuck some on the back of my phone so it can also be attached.

where can I get this 3M clip lock velcro??

cheers :spoton:
