Freerunner in real world

[Michael Pilgermann]

Dear all,

last weekend I went for a small cycling tour and I thought, with gps in my Freerunner and track load capabilities of tangogps there is no need anymore for physical maps - I took the Freerunner with me.

I was really impressed, how smoothly the whole thing was working. No problems with the GPS; no problems with tangogps either.
However, two small problems:
- I could not attach the phone properly to my bike; had to put it in a front bag and this was somehow a pain; also with some troubles with the sun making the reading from the display rather hard
- The power capacity was just enough to bring me from A to B; another (longer) trip might result in troubles / me getting lost :(

So my question: has anybody got any experiences with
- attaching a Freerunner to a bike (maybe even incl. sun protection)
- using some additional batteries?

Thx in advance for you input; greetings
Michael
