Has anyone here ever mounted their pocket pc's/palms pilots into their car to use as a removable navi? Anyone have pictures? I recently purchased a Toshiba E310 and am looking to do just this...thanx!

My guy, idd that to his Jeep. We are outta school for the break, so I dont know if he has any pictures. We both use Ipaq's and the run preety well, plus you can download dvd's or whatever and play it back. They have littel epansion packs that are able to give it video output so you can hook it up to external monitors. Sometimes depending on the model of pocket pc you have they can get expensive, but it is worth it. I can can get in touch with him I will email ou some pictures, bu tit is nice. He modified acell phone holder to make it stay in place and ran the power/av wires through the vent. it pretty hot and doesnt look outta place.

WILLDOGS, I am thinking about doing the same setup for my IPAQ. Does the software you have a voice that tells you to turn left, right, etc or is it just visual? Good setup btw.

Bdub...It would be great to see how you guys have it setup! I'm looking for as close to stock as possible. I know a PDA isn't stock, but I want the setup to look as natural as possible..I hate wires everywhere. Willdogs, is your loud enough that you don't have to turn doen your music everytime? Does it recalculate routes pretty fast?

Recaculates pretty fast, and the voice is pretty decent to her with music.
