Hmm. Very intriguing... One thing. My Palm seems to not enjoy vibration. It lived in a bag on my bike for a while, and one of it's connections got knocked a bit loose. Now it travels in a pocket wrapped in something soft, and it's happy. Not sure if it would enjoy being mounted. They're not as hardy units as GPS devices tend to be... But, I wonder if they've got a shareware version... ---o&>o--- Sarah Barwig sarah@...
