Re: [DML] Navigation System

[Greg Zapf <x86Daddy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I built a very custom system for about $1k.  I haven't put up a lot of
pictures or details yet, but I have one good shot online that really
shows what I did to avoid the screen vs. vents issue:

That's a 7" diagonal wide format touchscreen with a native resolution
of 800x480.  Although I haven't installed any DVD player software, the
system does have a DVD drive.  It has navigation software, phone
control / handsfree software, and music playing features.  The system
itself is not pictured there.  The housing for the screen is ABS
plastic shaped that way, covered with batting and black vinyl.
