iPad mount?
 
Anyone mount an iPad instead of a GPS in their car? Looking for pictures / ideas...
I'd rather not buy another GPS, since the iPad pretty much goes wherever I do, and it has a few nice nav apps...

No. The iPad is bigger than the car. I use a cup-holder mount for my GPS and it works wonderfully. There's just no place for an iPad. If you have the desire for a huge dash-mounted screen you can replace the radio with a double-din radio,cd,gps unit. For me, that was still too gaudy.

That's kind of what I thought, but figured somebody might have tried it and have a pic or two. When I'm solo, I put it on the passenger seat when I need nav, but it does get tossed around a bit, and I'm sure it's going to end up on the floor sooner or later.

I agree the ipad is kind of big for the Boxster but there are lots of mounts available via google search.

:D Those windshield mounts will certainly get you stopped. Too much windshield blockage. That one along the console would work. Still too big.

Thanks Aron, the Scosche clip made me google a bit more, and found this... Nteresting, but am not going to replace my stereo!

Yeah, I never imagined a windshield mount would work, certainly not in the boxster...
