Funny you mention that. As soon as I can find a Mac Mini for under $300 then I'm planning to install it perminantly into my Vanagon. Those little babies would make the perfect car PC. First off they are tiny (just a little bigger than a standard car stereo and I've heard that you can install them in the stereo slot, they only consume about 20 watts while running, they use a laptop style hard drive so vibrations are less of an issue, and they can easily be rewired to run on 12V power. I know that the GPS receiver will still work but I'll probably have to find new software to use it with the Mac. I'll be surprised if I can't find something with similar features.

Great idea. Problem is I need a laptop. Unfortunately I need a MAC laptop
and they are pricey, even used. Wonder if Streets and Trips works on a MAC>?
