Where to put the GPS?
Hi Guys
thought I'd share a little mod. My new GPS arrived yesterday and wow, it's a lot bigger than I anticipated. After trying various positions with the windscreen suction mount, I eventually ended up with the following position. Never nice to drill into body panels, but didn't have many options. Still need to sort out the cabling so if someone has ideas, please share
Thank you
John

Re: Where to put the GPS?
Well done John. I was thinking of doing the exact same with my GPS but never got to it. One of my to do projects.

These Patrol guys don't miss a thing, just now they'll give feedback on your tire pressures and tell you that the Patrol is parked facing north with the wheels in the sun as well. :-)

Re: Where to put the GPS?
Jou fotos se het geotagging data in...
Baie gevaarlik as mens wil stout wees: "In December 2012, anti-virus businessman John McAfee was arrested in Guatemala while fleeing from alleged persecution in neighboring Belize. Vice magazine had published an exclusive interview on their website with McAfee "on the run" that included a photo of McAfee with a Vice reporter taken with a phone that had geotagged the image. The photo's metadata included GPS coordinates locating McAfee in Guatemala, and he was captured two days later."

Re: Where to put the GPS?
The geotagging thing is an issue. And one of my to-do items in the forum is to strip EXIF information (any meta-data associated with an image) when files are uploaded to pprevent the disclosure of any information - including geotags.
This is very easy to do, but not that practical. For example, various cell-phones include the orientation of the image (ie: landscape vs. Portrait) in the exif information. And stripping everything will result in incorrect orientation of photos when they are uploaded - Photos of Patrols looking like photos of Fortuners ie: lying on their sides etc.
I have apartial workaround currently. But implementation will need to wait until I get the software update done. I am almost there. Please bear with me.
John - I will manually delete the EXIF information for those images when I have a moment.
