        • Great photos Hutch - thanks for sharing. Those side steps really set it off - are they a new addition?

          Awesome field of sunflowers behind the rig in one of those photos.

          Just wondering also, do you find the two antennae's distracting, given how they are right in the field of vision?

          • Just got an Ipad and fitted it using Hutch's method. So simple and cheap and works perfectly. Thanks for the idea Hutch.

              Hey madkore, the big aerial on the right is for the phone and I only use it when I go out of town, but when I do have it on after a while u just learn to look through it, just a pain for the wife when she is trying to get a good photo of something and their is these two aerials in the road.

                No worries A10, I went for a road trip yesterday threw the pad up on the dash, mounted in about 5 seconds as I leave the tabs their all o the time. Works a treat. R u running the Hema maps.

                • Rob, Using your method to attach your Ipad how much does it restrict the airflow out of the centre console A/C vents?

                    I actually turn them off, their are plenty of other vents to cool the cabin down.

                    • Hutch are you happy with the iPad navigator? No problems getting a signal etc? I was presented a mini for Christmas and have used it kayaking but thinking about getting a nav ap and doing the same. The charting ap and cycling ap aren't a lot of use in the car...

                        You have a 3G iPad or mini the wifi only ones does not have the GPS, I run the Hema maps and find them very good.

                          Yes, I have the Hema maps. Got them at the Christmas special plus 20% off Itunes gift cards. Good value.

                            I mounted it with about 50mm gap to the air vents and they still work fine. Keeps the iPad nice and cool as well.

                                Nice work Graham, Good pickup with the double discuont as well. for a 150 i think this is the best big screen, simple navigation setup with the hema maps. Good job Hutch.
                                Pity it just doesnt sit on a 120 like the 150, so I went the 7 inch tablet on a ram mount instead
                                cheers
