The same went for when I was communing. Having the option to pick a new route to or from work, or to swing around a different way to find a new market or restaurant, is great when you don't have to guess at the direction. I realize people have managed to get around before iPhone, but as for how difficult it was is a bit subjective.

I realize it can still be done, but the point of this thread really isn't about discussing my personal ability to navigate a city on my bike with, or without a phone. The point was that I enjoy using my phone for various reasons when I'm on my bike, and as such I am looking for a mounting solution. I'm not really looking for personal options on how to put my phone in my pocket, or bag. I'm not really looking for personal opinions on what others think of direction skills.

I appreciate everyone who has attempted to help in this thread. It is a pretty slim market out there for good bike mounts unfortunately, and if I had the means I would make a new product in a heartbeat. Until I magically find a few million in capital investment, I'm just going to have to try and find something that works.
