Is there a legal limit to the size of a satnav screen? Doubt it. Loads of cars have OEM dash-fitted multifunctional screens for satnav, reversing camera, handsfree info etc etc so using a laptop for navigation purposes should be legitimate?

I've just bought a proper docking station for my GoBook, so I can get it dash mounted. Had to import it from the US (a bit $$$ with the shipping and VAT on top) as there's nothing doing over this side of the pond.

Cool thing is that it came out of a State patrol car 8)
