Re: Newbie seeking some advice - further info from post originator

| Thanks for replies to date. I need to supply further information for you
guys.
I do voluntary work for the local bush fire service and often need to travel
way off normal roads and the Garmin unit I currently have is useless in this
situation.
Hence the reason for detailed mapping in these circumstances. I have access
to excellent outback maps.
I now have the answer to a suitable inverter (300 watt), but am wondering
about a small LCD monitor suitably mounted in my vehicle, rather than on the
passengers seat.
Thanks guys!

these can be mounted in the dash nowadays.

| No direct experience, but with all the little LCD panels available for
SUV DVD players and game systems, I would think a 7" screen ought to be
a simple matter to source and connect. I'd check with one of the audio
specialist shops.
Be sure to report back when you come up with something
