Great responses!
Making a home made mount has made me think but I'm not sure how well it's going to hold up on the trails. Since it'll be mixed terrain I need to ensure that the mount won't break and become a projectile. I'm still considering this as those links for the mounts I've posted are $$$. On the flip side I did read that many owners have said that making something on their own would be very difficult (in terms of strength and mobility of the mount itself).
The carputer concept using the laptop does give me some ideas but I know going that route will really take a toll on the wallet. I figure the laptop and mount will be expensive as it is. Most of the navigating will be done by the copilot so I won't be directly interfacing w/ the laptop.
Mike, how accurate was the delorme's map for the Nevada race? I'm curious to see how effective it was since that event definitely interests me. I've read that their maps are not up to date so hence the concern. good call on the trackball! I didn't even think about that one.
