GPS Cradle - Guess I'll Just Move it and Figure it Out Later

[ESquared]

Ray has some fantastic info/data over on the Windscreen thread, and just posted about his trip to Aeroflow, where he test-rode a
touring variant.

What caught my eye was this: "Relative airflow both sides of the screen seem optimized in either position. (One reason the engineers at BMW and Paige don't recommend obstruction of airflow on the backside of the windscreen by mounting a navigator against the screen.)"

Does this help explain BMW's placement of the cradle? Seems like the only explanation I've seen so far.
