    Droid on Garmin Mount

    I’m not a fan of window car mounts. At all. The first time that I tried it was with a (then) new Garmin Nuvi 760 that I had bought and what had happened day one? It fell down to the car floor and got scratched. Since then I’ve been using Garmin’s Friction Mount to keep my Nuvi on my dashboard.

    Since I’ve got my Droid, I had pondering the switch to using Google Navigation and one thing that was important to me was the car mount. Motorola’s car mount for the Droid is a window mount, and the last thing that I wanted was to have the mount dropping to the floor and having my beloved Droid scratched. Initially, I was going to try to come up with a rig to use my existing Garmin friction mount, but it turns out that there’s no rigging required!

    Things have been going pretty hectic for me lately in regards to school. This week in particular will be my biggest week with

    • a Discrete Structures exam
    • an Embedded Systems exam
    • a laboratory demonstration I need to present on modulus counter timers
    • submitting design phase artifacts for my Software Engineering class, which includes the design specification and a prototype

    I believe that for the most part, I have this week under control so long as I carefully manage my time correctly. But, I will post closer to the end of this week once things are done and out of the way on some more (big) updates on graduate school, job searches, and also a little thing that I happened to get my hands on today — Droid.

    More updates to come later!
