OS3.0 is due out sometime in the next 3 - 4 weeks. My guess is that it will be released near the end of June (prior to the July 4th holiday).

No official word on any of the Mac forums [yet].

 

Great we're leaving on the 27th for our 16 day ride. Is there a link to what the new OS will be, as for new features? Or is this a hush-hush thing?

Turn it OFF and ride...

 

After realizing that the iPhone wouldn't ever cut it as my GPS, I started trying to figure out the best place to mount my Garmin Nuvi 260W. The one thing I noticed was the round suction cup that I mount onto my car's windshield is almost the exact same size as the outside temperature gauge... Hmmm - I never really spend much time looking at that gauge anyway, wonder if anyone has ever used that as a mounting point for a GPS swivel ball mount? You wouldn't necessarily need to remove the temperature gauge. The Nuvi also includes a dash mount disc that almost fits right inside of that gauge opening. Anyone done anything like this in the past?

 

I got the iphone ram mount and it works well, but for gps I'd stick with a true gps. I have a garmin nuvi 550 mounted next to the iphone. The phone is there to so I can see if any one has called or texted me. Although having the local weather radar pulled up om a web site is something I tried tonite and it works well

 

Do you have a complete second RAM Mount installed for that GPS? Did you go with the same style mounting arm, etc? Just wondering if it might get a bit crowded (or if it would begin to block other gauges / speakers, etc.)

Have a picture you could share?

My wife looked at me with that "I don't want to see my GPS smashed into bits on the asphalt when it falls off your bike" kind of look. So I may just order a second one...

Thanks!

 

+1, Don't mind getting lost for awhile. After all, as someone once said, Riding is about the journey, not the destination.

 

Some RAM Mounts have two ball mounts, so maybe if you postioned the arm differently that could work. Some mounts also connect to brake bolts or lever bolts. Lots of different options from RAM

 

Well it ain't all sunshine, blue skies and primrose paths in my corner of the world. If you're riding in unfamiliar territory, there are some places you ought to stay away from. Places that make the hair on the back of your neck stand straight up. Places where you wish you were silent and invisible in rather than sitting atop a fire breathing chrome dragon. Places that make you feel fortunate to get out of alive. A GPS can keep you on this side of civilization and can always be turned OFF when you want to lose yourself in paradise.
