Hey guys. The space on the dash is too small for an ipad I use an ipad mini. The idea with my set-up is to have it all look as clean as possible. The total cost of my set-up is comparable to buying a gps, but this is more functional in my opinion, and I already had the ipad mini for a backup aviation gps. I have the dash panel that I designed to fit everything, a ram ipad mini mount and an ipad mini. You can also use an android based tablet or phone. My friends and I share tracks and routes so that we can all be going to the same place and not get lost. Between the gps and car to car radios we don't worry about losing someone on a ride especially when going fast.
