Is there only one person on this website that has a laptop mounted in their truck.

Just go to bestbuy and get This. It is 60 bucks, regular 90, and a whole lotbetter deal than i got. It is much cheaper than a regular GPS, and easier to use. You can set the route and your off. If you take a wrong turn then it will reroute you and get you back on track. The nice lady will talk to you and say "turn left in 2 miles" or "Exit 2b in 2 miles". Very nice :-)

That sounds COOL !!!

I didn't see where it included or had or needed an antenna. Do I need one? Do you think it comes with it?

It comes with the antenna, that is the yellow square thing on the picture, you just plug it in to a USB port and then stick it to the windsheild with the included suction cup. I have this exact kit so dont hessitate to ask any questions. You can download and save the maps on your computer as well, so you dont have to have the CD with you at all times. The maps it uses are the included Street Atlas USA 2007, you can also use those as an atlas if you want to old school your trip.. Also you can input stops you would like to make along the way and it will plan your trip along with stoping at your desired destinations.

I ordered mine from laptop city online. Here is the mount made for your truck. It is no drill and make sure you get the quick release option, it may be 35 dollars more but it is easy to remove the laptop when you want. They also have 1 dollar shipping during december so even more of an excuse to order now. My mount should be here tomorrow and I will get it installed this weekend. I am a photographer so you dont have to worry about not having pics

CRI-KEES !!!

228.00 for a laptop mount is a bit rich for me. It IS nice and all, but 228 is a little steep. I'm sure I could make something for less than that.

It is high, but when you travel as much as i do you get what works. Mine arived today in a box about the size of a keyboard and a half so it is in a LOT of pieces. I will dig in and get it set up this weekend.

Well got it installed. It is a nice setup and holds the laptop very securly. The passenger room isnt messed with hardly at all. I had to cut up my husky liner for the mount, but oh well. The quick release mount is very cool as well.

I was looking at the Jottodesk. I chose against it because of the cables that hold your laptop down. I would rather have clamps on the edge, then cables strung across my keyboard
