iPads and the mounting of
I know a few of you are using iPads for gps, and I have read these topics. But I would like to see how people are mounting these in their defenders.

And also if any one has learnt anything helpful about using one as a gps

I use one on a sucker mount so its easily taken off when parked to stop tea leaves robbing.

Mine doesn't have GPS so I use a Bluetooth GPS module stuck to the windscreen. All of UK landranger maps etc.

Mount jiggled about a bit but stayed put, i think some velcro under the arms will sort that, how about a flip down roof mount there are various on the market, google them. Or some method of mounting on the sun visor Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

I'm looking for a roof mounted, possibly swing down, so the kids can watch 'Tangled' or some other annoying film of the moment. Can find one though. Any ideas?

The head rest mounts are good for rear seat passengers.

The problem you get (i found) is the mounts are just too extreeme for the need. Obstruct something (like the air vents), dont go where you want or cant be removed.

Really consider what you need and where you want it - my recommendation would be avoid something that you cant remove easily at sale Mike
