[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 733446, member: 14773"] About seven years I had a similar idea - this was back when portable GPS's weren't very good or way too expensive. I was using Delorme's Street Atlas with the Topo maps and wanted something similar for the bike. So I drew up plans to build a tiny computer to sit in a tank bag. It would be a mini-ATX form factor but the screen would be one of those flexible touchscreens. THen I got busy with other things, the Zumo was released, tablet computers were hitting the scene, and I decided to put my efforts into other things. The Ipad in a tank bag idea is pretty cool ... I'm just surprised it hasn't been with the tablet computers yet ... mmm with the introduction of SSD this may now be even more feasible. [/QUOTE]
