Howie15,

DId you follow the links to the Navigation Topic Search that the system has found in the related keywords section. Most of your answers are in these pages coupled with a search of the forum system using keywords of Moving+Map should find all the answers you need.

Also just as a test here is a pic of our laptop bracket system, that you can read about in the Topic Search articles. (This is a members new feature I am testing to install Gallery Pics into the forum)


This is our custom built computer console stand.

Clive, this is the system I have in the ute currently. When not in use it folds up vertically between the seats with the table swivelling downwards minimising the width. The computer is less visible then too.

Still working on it. The locking system and selection system have not yet been perfected (as you have now found).
