I know Spongebob, they do work better that way, I do a hospital and also have a dock drop at that same place, if I cradle my hand held it takes forever to get Xata to turn to the dock drop stop, I will throw the hand held in the seat and deal with Xata and all is good, then I put the hand held in the cradle and it uploads, no problem, its still way to slow...I leave the yard many times b4 Xata even gets to my location or trailer.
