Just aligned the fit with my iPhone...

The iPhone is as handy as it gets. Today I used the iHandy Level and Compass apps (both free by the way) to align my Fit, that and some basic adding and substracting on a piece of paper!

First used compass to find 0 North
Centered the wheel with iLevel
Used iLevel to measure Camber and front aligment
noted discrepancies and using aligment bolts for camber corrected to specs

Found a toe mistmatch on the rear but could not correct the rear axle.

Just so you guys know, when I and some friends tested the iphone level versus a real level, sometimes, but not always, it was off. Also, it doesn't sit perfectly level as there is no large flat surface for it to sit on, and if you have a case on it that can make it worst. The iphone can't beat a traditional level, although it is useful at times. I just wouldn't use it for a car.

The iLevel HAS TO and can be zeroized, it cant beat a full size compass and/or good quality level (I think it is better than some cheap levels most people use), and definetively is extremly good as a WHOLE.

I do to, as a matter of fact I feel motivated to upgrade to the full version of it, and get all the other tools as well.

I can't decide if this is an ad on the usefulness of an iPhone or the ease of maintenance on the Fit!
