Filed under: GPS, Transportation  Though it"s typically common practice to suction that new GPS unit to your windshield just as soon as you whip it from the box, folks in California have long been unable to enjoy such luxuries outside of their own driveways. Currently, it"s illegal to have navigators stuck to one"s front window, and police have been handing out "obstructed view" citations for those who disregard the law in the Golden State. Now, however, the California Senate will be voting on Senate Bill 1567, which would "add an exemption for the use of a seven-inch GPS screen mounted on in the lower corner of the passenger-side windshield or a five-inch screen on the driver"s side." Of course, there"s still oodles of red tape (and you know, a vote) to pass through before gridlocked drivers are able to toss that NAV up at eye-level, but you"ve got to start somewhere, right?[Image courtesy of RVTravel, thanks Richard]

Its about time. I will still use my weighted bean bag mount just cause my current windshield is to far away to reach with the standard mount. |
