Well, I ordered the dual battery tray from Benchmark and it should be here by Wed. next week. I'll hope to have it installed by the following weekend. If flyingwil hasn't honored us with a description of his setup by the time I get the tray installed, I'll most likely just go with the...

Sure, I have lots of friends who use their Garmin GPS with their laptops "via" a USB connection, but that's not what I said/meant... I stand by what I said, namely, any Garmin USB receiver will not work directly with any software but Garmin for the reason I mentioned in my previous post. Check...

I know how you feel. When I was conducting research before purchasing my RAM mount for my '08 JK Unlimited, I found that nothing would be as sturdy and reliable as a RAM mount. Yes, RAM mounts are more expensive, but you'll only ever have to purchase one and it will sturdily hold any laptop you...

That's dang good! My Garmin 20x picks up a strong signal from my office (1st floor of 2-story home) but I haven't ever taken it into the basement to try it. I have been under heavy tree cover though and it did not lose the signal.

And that's exactly why I have this same setup - Win7 Ultimate (64-bit) and GpsGate. Just go ahead and pay the 40 bucks and put it behind you. You can't go wrong with GpsGate. And I'm not sure what thread I mentioned this in so I'll say it again: Any Garmin USB receiver will not be directly...

If this sounds pushy I apologize, but I've been holding off on the Power Gate until I see some pics and hear about your new system. I hate to lock myself into any expensive system until I get the scoop on everything else. Please, please, please hurry. :bike_rider:

So what is it and let's see some pics.

Lind DC/DC Adapter Well, I received the Lind adapter this afternoon from UPS. I went ahead and purchased two power cords for it as well; one that plugs into a cig. lighter outlet and one that ends in bare wires. I got the bare wire one hard-wired into the Jeep already too. I'll save the other...

If you have a few minutes, I'm wondering if you would please do me a favor. Please review their Installation Manual and let me know what you think. Specifically the section titled: Post Installation Checkout. Here is an excerpt of those instructions: Using your digital multimeter, perform the...

Garmin 20x I use the Garmin 20x. You can purchase it separatly or with Garmin Mobile PC software. I got the Garmin Mobile PC Package and have been very satisfied with it. However, to use any Garmin USB GPS receiver with non Garmin software, you will need to purchase 3rd party translation...

Power Gate Price Sheet I sent Power Gate an email this morning and didn't expect an answer until at least Monday. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email response already. One of the questions that I asked in my email was if I could somehow connect a couple LED lights that...

One question... Am I missing something? I can't find a single website that has a price for this thing. How do you know they are inexpensive? Did you call them during the week? I just finished reading all about these units and had decided to seriously consider making a purchase. I just wanted to...

Benchmark Designs Here's one that I think was missed in this thread. I found this one a while back and had it linked as a favorite. From the looks of it, I would include this kit into the KISS category I think. Benchmark Dual Battery System Benchmark Dual Battery Tray. However, before...

Bunch of great! information here. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post all this. I'm in the market for a dual battery system and came here looking for guidance. However, I have one question though... Which one should I get? :smiley_drive: There are so many systems avail. and lots of...

Well, I honestly haven't given that much thought really. I guess if I really needed to, I could just unmute the camera as it has a nice microphone and has awesome background noise cancellation. But as for leaving it on during an entire trip, I'm not sure I'd ever do that. I have three children...

This helps a ton Jim. Thanks! I may just give it a test like you describe. But in any case, I don't have any more misgivings about the Lind adapter not matching perfectly with the Dell adapter. Thanks for taking the time to put the ole' jumper cables on my memory.

Thanks Jan! That's actually the axe and shovel and mounting bracket that you are seeing towards the bottom of that video. My first thought was to actually put it above the mirror, but there wasn't a readily available method to keep it up there. The leg of the camera fit tightly between the cage...

Thanks! The one that you indicate does indeed also list the XPS-M1530. I guess the reason why my eyes settled on the previous one is because it's description indicates something about a portable printer. And it also specifically says that it has a temp. cutout circuit with auto reset. I've been...

You sure aren't kidding about "a few years ago" if you were using a tape recorder. :Wow1: Merging video with the maps was also one of my concerns, and the fact that the webcam is USB solves that problem as the video timestamping is using the same clock as the GPS / Topo Map is. The only other...

Thanks a bunch. This was the exact sort of response I was hoping for. I sent them an email inquiring about one of their inverters. The thing I'm concerned about though is that one of their units (Lind DC Power Adapter - Model # DE20-19-1879) is rated at: Output Voltage 20 VDC & 19VDC Output...
