Anthony, found a suitable mount for the iPad to use it as a GPS? I've got a separate GPS b/c I can take it with me when I travel (as opposed to the one in the car)-you'd be surprised how often people always ask me why I have 2, and I tell them the reason and they're like "Ohhhh, ok-that makes sense!" Anyway, I used an iPad once when I was traveling with Google Maps and it worked great except for the one time it fell over b/c well, I didn't have a mount for it! :P So if you've got a rec on a good solution...though it might be worth my time to get one custom-made once I get the new car lol... Ohh, and which Nav software do you recommend? Like I said, I just used Google Maps to see where I was going (I found the destination and just navigated towards it) as I almost never trust the GPS directions and make my own way there as I find it's usually more efficient (at least if I know the area which I usually do)... BINO
