One thing I forgot to mention is that despite including nine photographs, the vendor has not included ones showing a full-face view of either mirror. It might be he simply forgot, or it might be a reason for caution. I challenged him upon this via eBay yesterday, but I’ve had no reply so far. I checked on my Mate’s 6” to see if mirror photography is possible, and it is. If only we lived closer to the sea on a south facing coast. I could buy it for Mrs P, and we could sit all day in a promenade shelter with a flask of coffee seeing who get closest to Frank's GPS Anti Spoof value. DaveP
