I run GPS on a Pocket Computer in the truck and see no way to do that. Maybe you could buy a cheap second hand notebook computer, plug a gps card into that, and use the extern monitor port to hook it to the in dash display. You could put the notebook under the seat or something. But that still leaves you no way to change the settings except to fish the thing out and fiddle with it.
What I would suggest is go to one of those places that deals in very high end motorhomes, and see if they have something designed to do just what you want. That seems likely as folk who buy half-million dollar MH's are not going to be happy with stuff strewn willy-nilly about their dash. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Rob Brigham wrote: > Actually, looking at it you might have some luck with a PDA running > satnav software.
