    spike has a rounded lens in the center of his back window, called "van eyes" i think, works simiar to what you are talking about, does an ok job showing if something is there, but no details, could be a sheep, could be a humvee, no real way to tell heh

    When I get the in-dash GPS, it will also be the sound system, etc. and back up camera. But I think it is illegal to have the camera functioning while the shift level is in the DRIVE position. Supposed to only work in the REVERSE position. But having a good, clear view of exactly what is behind you at all times right on your dash would be very, very nice.

    OK, so the process is only valid if you can see out of your rear view mirror. Try to impart some basic knowlege on a bunch of gear heads - what dya get - GRIEF.

    Zeus, I like your solution. I bet the added visibility comes in handy with all that extra 0.05% throttle response.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    i think the most important thing is to know where your blind spots are.. i adjusted my mirrors to where i liked them and using a parked car in a fairly empty parking lot to check exactly where my blind spots are, now i know exactly what i can and cant see

    I reworked the math & it comes out to 0.06% so I'll accept your rounding up

    No lightning bolts down my shorts this time.
