Navigation device

A personal navigation device includes a GPS receiver for receiving GPS signals from a plurality of GPS satellites; a processing system coupled with the GPS receiver for determining a location of the personal navigation device as a function of the GPS signals; a display coupled with the processing system for displaying information related to the location of the personal navigation device; a housing on which the display is mounted and in which the GPS receiver and processing system are housed; and an antenna coupled with the GPS receiver for assisting in reception of the GPS signals. The antenna is fixedly positioned along a plane that is generally parallel with a plane passing through the housing.

Personal navigation device with improved antenna mounting configuration

A mounting assembly for portable electronic devices includes a mount () with a mounting ball () that mates with a socket assembly () formed in a housing () of an electronic device (). The socket assembly includes an orifice () formed in the back of the housing, a seat () positioned in the orifice for matingly receiving the ball, and a spring element () partially surrounding the seat. The seat includes a concave center portion () and a plurality of flexible, interconnected arms () extending from the concave center portion. The spring element substantially encircles the flexible arms to allow the flexible arms to flex outward when receiving the ball and to then contract inwardly to contact the ball when the ball is seated fully in the seat.
