This is for those of us that don't need / want to buy a separate GPS device for the car, when a phone does a better job.

Its the iOttie iTap Wireless which features a simple magnetic mounting system, wireless Qi charging, high charge throughput to keep up with your GPS needs, dashcam feature, and internal fan to keep things cool so that you get full sustained charge.
The only problem with it? Well, there is no great case for the iPhone from iOttie that works great with their system.
You can find iOttie products at Amazon.
*This is not a paid endorsement of iOttie products. I just happen to have bought several of their mounts, and use them all the time and love their design, price, performance ratio for my personal use.*
Earlier this year I got a parking ticket for street sweeping where I was minutes from when the street sweeping was stated to start. I had a very busy first quarter and filed my appeal on the very last day it was allowed. They said it was received late. I argued it was post-marked on the final day to appeal. They said they would get back to me... They still haven't..
Meanwhile, my fine got doubled to $150 + late fee. (Yes, the fine for street sweeping parking is over $70; $73 according to this article.) Anyway, I have written them FOUR times. I paid the fee first because $150+ is more than I even cared to pay, now they won't bother replying.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm really glad there is an organization called the Los Angeles Parking Freedom Initiative fighting for Angelino's rights -- too bad their website is down.
If there is any class action suit going on, I'm in.
Bring it on, I can't wait. No matter what, its going to make us all safer on the freeway as long as you're willing to give up a bit of privacy and a lot of control. I'd give it another 10 years before we see a meaningful portion of the cars on the road having an auto-pilot option.
