I like the big screen laptop for GPS. Use it in the Knight all the time with DeLorme Street Atlas USA and Trailer Life Campground Navigator. Was thinking about a small GPS unit for use in the Jeep Wrangler but dug out the Jotto Desk from the attic to see if it could be used in the Wrangler. The Jotto Desk previously had been used in a Chevy 2500, Ford Super Duty 3500 and Winnebago Adventurer 35U. After a little(?) plotting and planning, it fits just fine, tight, but not in the way of any of the Wrangler controls. When not needed, it is easily removed from its mount. However the wife and I found that its very handy for snacks/drinks, so it has not been removed since installed. Power is supplied by a 12v to 19v power supply in both the Wrangler and Knight.
Pics of install can be found below in "Logthumper's Photos", then "Starting again with Monaco".
