I wanted to try out the new Nokia Drive beta GPS program, and realized I didn’t have a car mount for the Lumia 920 yet. So I quickly taped together two old credit cards, added a fold and hole for the adapter, and put two hooks on the back for mounting on the drink holder. Took about 10 minutes to zap together. You can adjust ‘settings’ to other phones as well.

 

 

 

The mount works securely in traffic. Need to adjust the rubber band so that it doesn’t block the top of the screen where text messages appear.

 

This is three screen shots stitched together…

• Press POWER button and START button simultaneously to capture a screen. Each capture is stored as a PNG file in your albums.
• I use a variety of apps and saved web pages on my screen. Most of them are self describing.
• The empty black space aligns where my thumb hits the screen…I keep it empty for a visual break among the meadow of boxes and so I don’t inadvertently launch an app.
• I have two tiles for me: one near the top is for social catch-up, the one on the bottom is for professional use where I can just Tap-and-Send contact info as a business card.
• I try to group other like-minded things: email, Office, maps, games, weather and traffic.
• Settings tile currently stays high as I’m using it to fine tune colors.
• Best used app not many people know about: RAD Now! …a free app with weather radar weather imagery.
• All real estate is subject to change at any moment, I must have rearranged tiles and sizes at least a dozen times over the past week.

Enjoy!
