I have got a Samsung S3 with Viewranger. Once the GPX file is uploaded, it does the job but it is really hard to use because I carry it in my pocket and have to keep stopping and looking at the screen. Is there any good handlebar mount for this type of phone ? Or is this not recommended as does the vibration cause damage to the phone when riding over rough terrain ? Is there an alternative way of riding with this type of phone and being able to look at the screen without having to stop, such as carrying the phone with an arm band ?
Alternatively I also have a Garmin Etrex Legend and I have failed to get a handlebar mount for this as well, frustratingly the ones they seem to sell are not compatible with the GPS, despite them saying it is. The mount just does not connect to the GPS.
These navigation issues are causing me massive problems and it’s frustrating to keep stopping every 30 seconds in areas with lots of junctions, especially when descending.
