Mac Mini, with GPS, in a Disco

Seeing as there have been a few posts recently about GPS systems, I thought I show folks my solution...



I can see a remote but....

Oh, there it is...



Keyboard is easy to get at....



and control is via a Magic Trackpad... and there is also an iPod Dock...



All neatly powered using a 2140 from Carnetix



And thanks to the roof mounteded Evermore....



and 7inch Lilliput touch screen, I have full access to Memory Map...



All I have left to do is replace the standard hard disk in the Mac with a SSD to make startup a bit faster

blimey... what a palaver..

looks a bit like Spaghettie Junction????

whats the advantages over someting like a tom tom

all the cabling for the Mac is hidden - I'm working on the rest....

where did u get the center consol top from??

The advange over TomTom is a full UK set of OS 1:50000 maps. Also the kids can watch films during longer road trips - I've also wired in 3 headphone sockets in the back. Internet is also availabe using 3G or Wireless

The extra layer in the center console was from Landrover for holding a Mobile phone - I simply hollowed it out a bit more.

looks the part, but too much stuff for me, I used a ipaq navman.
Small and light plus I can take it out on a night

Does it do bacon sarnies?

Keyboard looks pain in the arse, I use a dinovo mini for my HTPC in lounge and sitting in field talking to you lot at events. battery life could be better and trackpad some love some hate. but far easier than a full keyboard.

type with thumbs as I am doing now, it is illuminated in dark as well

Where do you live?

on second thoughts dont answer that, i would want some big dogs and a night-watchman if i had that set up in the Disco here,

I like the idea, its just the thought of that much technology sitting in the landy outside all night that bothers me.
