I am getting irratated having to shut down the carputer every time , so I want to make a startup and shutdown controller. Any ideas? Panda

Yeah, maps are the problem Panda

Anyone able to help with the above post? Panda

I have been researching a 4-Way Diversity Antenna and a booster for the TV Tuner in the carputer. I have a couple of questions for those in the know. I think I am right but need some backup before I shell out the $100. I have googled, I have emailed, I have posted but I still do not know 100% whether this will give me a good TV picture whilst moving. - will this work with tinted windows? - the antenna has an amplifier itself, can I run this signal to another amplifier? (amplify an amplified signal) - will this receive Digital TV? - is this the best option? This is the antenna - 4 Way Diversity Antenna And this is the booster - Booster Panda

Nope, sorry

I wasn't sure if it was that simple.Allright then, I'm off to Ebay Panda

Keep us updated Panda

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't earth loop caused when two different earthing points are too far apart or have a bad earth? Can you earth the inverter to a point behind the ICC (same place as where the ICC earths) Also, what size wire do you have on the +ve and -ve sides of the inverter? Panda

But you're not using Goops are you? Didn't you say in a previous post that you are using GPS to Google Earth, not Goops?Panda

Sorry, couldn't find it.Panda

This one? In the picture it is the black one (on the ICC end it's the bottom row, second from the left, on the carputer end it's top left) Master Panda

I don't know what I was thinking - it must be the inverter because you say it is perfect on every other type of power - perfect on battery - perfect when plugged into the house 240V - crap when plugged into the inverter 240V Definately sounds like ground loop Panda

OK then, if it was the one I made it is shieldedPanda

Tough one, sounds like you have tried to eliminate the obvious sources. One thing you didn't mention - is the cable that runs from your laptop to your ICC shielded? Panda

I don't think so. Destinator tells you where to go, and Goops tells you where you've been. The limitation is probably the Navman (or more precisely the software limitations because of the hardware limitations) Since I installed Destinator, I no longer use Goops, but I did make a ghost of my carputer a while back, will see if I can find it for youPanda

Send me an emailPanda

Subscribing to this one!!! Looks great Panda

What about a video card with dual outputs. You could have whatever you want in the front ( GPS ) and the kids in the back could be watching a DVD Panda

I'm sure anything is possible with a lot of moneyPanda

I reckon a spid pan can train far better than a track as suchPanda

If the speed of one hundred vehicles was recorded and those speeds where arranged from fastest to slowest - the speed of the vehicle in positon 85 is the 85th Percentile.These speeds have to be recorded in normal circumstances (average day, average traffic, no visable police prescence etc) Panda

Some but not all - I'm researching it at the momentPanda

Unfortunately the 'big picture' that the government is looking at has lots of dollar signs in it. Panda
