Is this what we all want

You'd need the car adapter that's listed as an option on one of the pages.
Maybe the input votage to the device is a (thoughtful) 12-14v so you could just wire the plug into the car directly?

That would mean a slim loom of two cables for the toy - one for the USB GPS and one for the power. Then you might want the USB CDMA card so you can get e-mail while driving :)

Couldn't see any mounting points or cradle for in car use though, but as this format takes off there will surely be others and the price will reduce.

phew, lucky you have insurance Phil.

Yep, spare screens have always been over the top.

That's why I always suggest people buy laptops which have 3 yrs Warranty - if the screen dies at 14 months the laptop's a throwaway.

Hi ray,
Insurance???? Hmmmmm.........can't imagine it would be covered by home/contents/comprehensive.
