Hi, I've have just taken the plunge and got myself wired :D I've been thinking it about it for months now, finally done it and wished I had done years ago !!
What a completely cool gadget ! I have been using PDA's for years in a working capacity and had been toying with getting GPS last summer, I cover quite a few miles for work in my Renault Laguna II, which has a Solar Windscreen I have already sold my laser detector because the windscreen slaughtered the range, I only saw the coppers shortly before they flew over the bonnet When I spotted this site a while back you spurred me on !! I decided to get a GPS mouse and TomTom and give it a go... But the windscreen slaughtered my reception, as stated in quite a few posts on your splendid site.
However, I was not downbeat ! I resolved to purchase a GPS repeater at about £50 delivered, then baulked at the checkout I just couldnt bring myself to part with the cash. So I experimented in the car with the GPS mouse hooked up and got 8 sat's with the GPS mouse on the rear parcel shelf. A short trip to eBuyer and 1 Belkin PS2 extension cable later (@ £4.99) JOB DONE !! it works a treat. I have now plumbed it all in and it looks great and works fantastically. The install worked out really well, with all the cable and charger hidden. I am really pleased with the whole thing
So, if you've got a solar windscreen dont despair or delay, you too CAN have GPS without paying through the nose for it !!
If the pocket GPS team would like I would love to do a Reader Install for your site as I'm really pleased with the way it all went together, if I had known how easy it would be to get GPS working in my Solar Windscreen fitted car, I would have done it months ago
