    Yes, the Palm does look photoshopped. I can't explain it. It was brand new at the time... very shiny and light coming into the car from all angles. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :p I do recall with an older setup I took the photos in a parking garage. I did flash and no flash on...

    WOW! ;) I'm not sure if I'm being complimented for an install that's so clean it looks unreal or if you think I faked all of this with software magic. I'm good with photoshop and use it to remove imperfections such as scraches, rock chips (paint), debris, or something else; but not to...

    Sorry to take so long to get back. I forgot to subscribe (thought it was automatic). :oops: CLEAN is what I really try to achieve in my installs. But that's also why I don't have any photos of my TinyTrack 3+ (APRS) install. ;) I had been doing a lot of other work on the car. So my trunk...

    Larsen's NMOHFGPS Mount w/GPS?

    Larsen's NMOHFGPS Mount w/GPS?

    Thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to buy one. Then I'll see if it can be opened up to drop in the replacement GPS2. Otherwise, I'll invest in a GPS unit with external antenna input and use this slick mount. :thumbup1:

    Larsen's NMOHFGPS Mount w/GPS?

    Hello, I just spotted Larsen's (new?) NMOHFGPS antenna mount which includes a GPS antenna. It does not appear to have been discussed here already. More info at http://www.larsen-antennas.com/docfiles/ASB10/SalesSheets/NMOHFGPS.pdf. It looks like my Byonics GPS2 just died. I'm trying to...
