I think it would be cool if they added a display on the mygig that allowed for inputs of inclinometers.

I was checking out the Apps on the IPhone, they have a clinometer app you could buy. I doubt its accurate but I thought out it...

Mytechnique is not as humorous as his, but much more scientifically sound. Let someone else go first and if they make it then you can, too!

THIS is my new inclinometer.

I printed your pic and keep it in my glove box. Before going through side slopes I take your pic out and eyeball it.

Thanks!

More common voice-activated inclinometers are ususall mouted in the passenger or back seats:

Wife: "Honey, don't..."
Kid: "Padre! Stahpppp....!"

Those voice commands from my "inclinometers" usually cause me to pick different lines. (or a whole 'nother route)
