I was just about where the kids in the right on the photo are when I turned on iGuidance. Then I biked towards home with the Axim in one had, watching as iGuidance showed my course. Again, lots of fun. But I'll need a handlebar mount if I'm going to take it anywhere seriously.

Now, what blocks it? I can anwer that it doesn't work when inside a moving elevated train. I commuted by bike all week and am giving my knee a break today so I took the 7 train. I figured that I'd watch my progress on iGuidance but that wasn't working even though I held the BT-339 to the window. It also doesn't work where I'm sitting now, inside a glass and steel mausoleum.

Oh well, I'd best get back to work.
Work...what is that??? When it comes to AximSite...work plays second fiddle!!!
That's cool it's working for you. Not to sure about the where it doesn't work part...sorry.
But have a great day anyway!!!
