The Venus 638 has a strange problem. If it loses lock it has a very hard time regaining it at some times (this is when it knows when and where it is). Hitting reset has it snap back and find all the satellites and lock in a few seconds. I need to try dropping back to 10Hz to see if it still does it.
Meanwhile my last ride went well until the iPod started acting strangely. It would first dim. Then after a while an alert screen titled "Temperature" with a yellow triangle with exclamation point came up. It was 90 degrees, and it was in a box but not that bad. Probably the refresh rate - the back surface did get hot. It needed full brightness to be visible in the sun.
I will need to see if I can get the kindle mounted and tweak the pages a bit more.
