johnridleyAnd damn, is it cold out. 5*F isn't the best conditions to learn to use a new computer guidance system, especially since it uses an LCD screen, and after the first 3 minutes I couldn't read anything on it, as it side-scrolls and the LCD was frozen and it all just became a big blur.
It took 4 tries to get it aligned, the final one worked because I finally realized that it thought it was in Newark and changed it to Ann Arbor. This mount was sold to someone in NJ before me, the invoice with his name on it was still in the box. I'm not really bugged by that, since I got it for $25 less than anyplace else had it. I may write a letter to him and ask why he returned it.
