Hi Mike and Gil

Wonderful on this new direction with tandems.  Remember to come up with a good 
way to safeguard the PK or the BN against natural elements other than our own 
heated bodily discharge when cycling hard on a warm day.

One addition to the wish list:  Can the system be made to announce whenever 
there is a speed change while in cycling mode?  I know that the multiple repeat 
function can be activated to tell speed, but this is every xx seconds and the 
system may be set to announce several information when cycling.  this will help 
the team keep to a steady or targeted speed if on training.

Regards
Cheng

  Mike,

  Very cool. I'm working on a new mount for the PK that mounts very easily on 
the top of the handlebars and the stem. It also will allow putting the mount on 
the PK very easily with no tools.  As soon as I have it "perfected" and tested 
I'll write up a description of how I did it so we can distribute it to anyone 
interested.

  I will love the new " bicycle" route calculation option. I've used the 
pedestrian option and as you know it's not perfect when on a bicycle. 

  Thanks,

  Gil

    This weekend, my brother visited and we took both of our custom tandems for 
a 30 mile ride to and from Winters, just West of Davis. This reminded me not 
only of the fun of cycling but also of using the GPS along the way.
  etc....
