• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Getting the Dashmounted to Stick Again

So last year I got a dash mount for my Samsung tablet. I have a new vehicle so I want to transfer it over. It's one of those suction cups with a little bit of sticky stuff that you seal on to the dash with a leaver. It won't really stick anymore. Does anybody else have this problem? What did you do to solve it? I don't exactly want to glue the dashmount to the dash. And, I don't want to buy another one even though they're fairly cheap. Any thoughts?

It depends. I had an old dashcam mounted in the window for 3 years, and when I removed it, the suction cup had hardened to the point that it would not stick again. I tried flexing it and the plastic cracked! I think if it's been in the window exposed to the sun for long enough, the material permanently loses its flexibility. I wouldn't think that would happen in a year, though.
 
If you use a RAM arm mount, with two screws through the dash (making sure that nothing underneath gets damaged), results in the most stable mounting you will ever have.
