• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anybody know a way to do this?
Any particular GPS models, or cases?

Thanks for any and all tips,
Pablo Miller
 
Thanks Troop.
I can't see how this would work? Can you help me understand how to secure a GPS with it?
/p
 
I've always found that OOSOOM works for me.
Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind.
To be specific, the typical Zumo mounts and dismounts very easily. I take it off and lock it up in my frunk with my helmet.
I know, this is probably contrary to what you were hoping for.
 
Yup .. The Touratech is expensive, but it is very beefy and rock solid. No cheap locking mechanisms. The rubber dampened cradle keeps things secure. The GPS will be ruined by the time a thief gets it out of that cradle. I do remove my Zumo XT at night while traveling, but I'm not worried about it during the day..

Recently acquired a used KradelLock thx RedRTS:clap: https://robertbeckerdesign.com/gps-locks/. Even better contacted them & they were able to swap the lock to match the lid lox:firstplace::2thumbs::yes::yes: Quite handy & less key confusion. Before that would lock in frunk if felt the need, also found a security pin# in settings. Simple 4 digit lock code & or special location. Felt little more secure, if forgot to put away. Zumo660

Thanks Troop.

The oem mount has a block with locking “fingers” that Hold unit in place the Kradellock uses large plate that locks flush on top & prevents movement.

Bud has one of these, basically same, not as robust, has cam lock arm that prevents oem lock button movement.

Thank you.
Holy cow! $$$$$

Maybe I should just carry an extra GPS in case mine gets stolen :-)




PS are you in the aviation biz?


Too rich for my blood- I just use a RAM X-Grip and put the gps in my jacket pocket when I need to. Yep - Business Aviation specifically.
