Power for GPS/cellphone on non-battery GG?

[Kyle01]

I'm sure somebody has done it... I ordered the parts that I use on all of my bikes and honestly it will just be used to power an iPhone (I've found that an iPhone running Xmotion GPS is just as effective as a standalone gps for my purposes) Anyhow- is there a good spot after the regulator/rectifier to tap in or should I just grab a schematic and dive in?

Thanks!

I dont know about the power, but Xmotion is great!!! I do bring a auxiliary battery with me.

Yeah, not sure if it's been covered here much but I was able to gather (after lots of reading) enough info about writing/recording/creating and reading gps tracks (specifically with an iPhone) that I've finally got it working really well. If you were under the impression that an iPhone cannot use imported .gpx files that's totally incorrect. If anyone is curious I'll let ya know what I do. I also create my own tracks (via google earth) as well as being able to use any tracks that are posted on the web. Good shit Maynard!
