    A phone shouldn't need a waterproof case.

    The rider doesn't




    Although my 7" tablet on a RAM mount doesn't go out if there's rain forecast within the next 2 days

    Remember that GPS speed readings do lag behind reality if your speed is changing.

    Yeah that was one of my original concerns as well. The reality is that with the refresh rate being several times per second...it's only my eyes that are struggling to keep up.

    Righto, courtesy of www.digital-speedos.co.uk the GPS driven speedo is installed and working as expected. The only downside might be that it captures maximum speed, but then I never speed anyway so that shouldn't be too much of a problem...

    Yeah. Right.

    I have a speedohealer that captures maximum speed...I hide the button that produces it on the screen. Course, that speed was on Hampton Downs anyway...I've kept it for semimental reasons.
