    Touch Screen for use with Laptop GPS

    Hi All,

    been a while since i've been on here.......

    Anyway i am looking to fit a Touch Screen in my bus to connect directly to my Laptop as the missus is getting sick of having it on her lap!
    what i want to achieve is to have the laptop running under the seat with OziExplorer, then a VGA (or if possible USB) cable direct to a 6" or 7" touch screen mounted on a plate which i will make up underneath the CD player and UHF that are currently in the DIN spaces.

    I have tried all the normal shops in Adelaide but can't find anyone who sells them. Strathfield, Tonkins, Dick Smiths, Tandy, Harvey Norman and various computer shops... but no-one has them or can tell me who would.

    Does anyone here know where i could find one preferrably in Adelaide so i can touch/feel it or anywhere else in Australia?

    Cheers!
    Luke

    Sorry I can't help you with a supplier in SA. I got one of the cheap 7" screens from hong kong (ebay), which has worked fine.

    They all use a VGA connection for the display, and a USB connection for the 'touch screen' input.

    I used a pop-out of the dash 'DIN' type one, but I've seen others that used a ram-mount that clamped to the 'jesus bar' on the passenger side for mounting.

    Hope the info is of some use........

      Have a google for Nesavision. They have quite a few outlets in Oz. They sell what amounts to the 7 inch Lilliput screen. Think its a called a GL70N.

      MP3car.com has more info than you will ever need on touchscreens and the like.

          Where exactly would you mount it? Very interesting.
