What do you all use to mount the iPhone to the car windscreen/dashboard? And where to get one?

Th only mount I've seen so far is the Griffin Windowseat but it's not suitable for me as I have my iPhone in a hard case.

@sugen:
are you speeding at 160KM/H on a road with 50KM/H speed limit?  tongue.gif

anyway, just get to test Sygic on a friend's i3G today. and what i can say is, it's by far the best GPS navigation software for iPhone. i've tested it when i drove from my place in Taiping to Kampar just now (which took around 1 hour and 30 mins) and i can say i'm really impressed.

here are my findings:
1. it doesn't drain the battery much (Sygic was on for 90-100 mins and battery only dropped from 76% to 50%), maps are detailed (POIs like petrol stations are quite up-to-date, even have specific lorongs for my housing area in Taiping, which is quite a small town)
2. navigation & routing is spot-on (don't seem to notice any lag in loading my current position, routes were computed quite fast)
3. i absolutely loved the landscape mode!  there's even a day and night view which change the background colors to suit the lighting. thumbup.gif

never got the chance to test Garmin dedicated GPS device or Garmin on Nokias but Sygic has made iPhone's A-GPS much much better and useful.

if it's not because of the price tag, i would have got one myself. i should start saving. (there goes the money i saved for new cases. sad.gif)

hopefully TomTom's offering might be slightly more affordable.

PS:sugen, is there a way to change the male's voice in the voice navigation to a female's?  biggrin.gif

speeding at 160km/h on a road with 50km/h speed limit is not a big matter....
The problem is if the pic he took by himself then should be very impressed by wat he can be done (drove 160kmh and take pic)... lol tongue.gif thumbup.gif

What is the defination of FAST calculation...hmn.. As for my experience.. the recalculation took about less then 5 seconds.. To me, this is very fast.. Maybe Garmin perform in split second.. I am not sure..

urs 5s can done recalculation? i took quite long.....

besides that, when i went wrong direction, the recalculation always ask me U turn....zzzz it wont showed me alternative way which the garmin, shinco did it....Maybe in this point...sygic a bit weak....
