I picked up a Garmin Catalyst during the 100$ rebate earlier this year and got a chance to use it this past week. I agree with the general consensus of if you're in the upper echelon and already use data a lot then it might not be worthwhile. I'm a pretty heavy data user, I generally use Harry's and the load all the data into track attack to better analyse it but I still found it super useful because it was very easy to look at things immediately. Also as an instructor it was nice to pull the unit and show a video clip of a line to a student right then and there.
However, I have the stock mounting suction cup as low as I can get it on the dash and it blocks my view through tight right hand corners, and it's even worse for my wife who's shorter than I am. I'm trying to work out some nice way to mount it lower in the car. I've seen the T-Design Tablet mount and wonder if that would be stout enough for the unit on track, and if it's removable easily for when I drive on the street. I sent them a question but never heard back. The other option that looks interesting might be to use their cupholder since it's screwed in place and then just fab a RAM mount ball to it instead of the cupholder and use that.
Anyone else have thoughts on doing this?
