Alternative to Seidio Mount, and BT receiver reccomendation

Adeel · 07-16-07, 02:30 PM

About a year ago I purchased my Seidio G4500S. It's acted up on me from time to time, sometimes not charging then it would decide to start charging. I'd even press down hard on the Axe to make sure it was seated properly in the mount and it still wouldn't feel like charging sometimes. I need to recommend a mount to a friend of mine and as much as the Seidio is nice for lack of rattling and sticking well to the windshield that annoying intermittent charging quirk makes me want to look for alternatives. In addition what would you guys say is the best BT GPS receiver to get these days. I bought my oncourse 338 a year ago and i love it. But I think there are some out there now with longer battery life.

Thanks

I am using iTrek, it can pick up 8-10 satellites on NYC street
but the acquistion after cold boot is SLOW, even up to 5 mins (with Google Maps)

think i'm going to go with the new oncourse3 receiver. i wanted the seidio mount however the onc3 receiver uses miniUSB to charge, and the seidio mount doesn't come with a 4mm to miniUSB cable, so i'll go with the oncourse2 mount. i've had a friend highly recommend the seidio mount, however has anyone had any experience with the second edition oncourse windshield mount?

I am unfamiliar with the "oncourse2 mount." Where did you find that? Will you please provide a link?

Get a Brodit Pro Clip. :approve:

It comes in 2 parts. THe Car Mount clip and the Mount for the PDA, etc

I have one for my X3i ....super neat and designed for the exact device your using.

Can be a little expesnsice for both parts (eg. about £35 del) but the quality & design is superb.
