That's what I was looking for thanks J

With the data from motionX on the iPhone how would I get that to a file onto the computer to convert it to a usr for my lowrance?

Either check out the FAQ that BigJ linked to above, or just hit "Share" in the MotionX menu and email it to yourself and convert it from there.

How do you plan to mount it, by the way? I'm going to give one of these a try: RAM X-Grip II™ Tablet Mount although I have serious doubts about it actually staying stuck when hammering 'er off road. I might have to end up hard mounting it via one of their flat mounts.

I'm using a RAM suction cup mount to the windshield and the iPhone specific cradle. I mount it right above the center dash speaker, and it's rock solid and easy to see w/o being in the way. This location is also within easy reach of the USB port for charging and music access. If/when I get an iPad I'll just buy a cradle for that and switch it out, although only experience will tell if a tablet in this location would block too much view.

Here's my setup for the Texas Run, I'll be using MotionX. The iPad is on a Ram mount that mounts to the base of the seat.

Tejas, how did this iPad mount work for you on the track? Pretty steady, or did it vibrate and/or bounce around?

I'm using a suction cup Ram mount off the windshield. It is easy to see and very stable, but it blocks more of the windshield than I like.

His truck went away before the run so I don't think he ever tested it.

Does anyone know if the HDS-5m Gen2 comes in black?

Too bad, it looked like a decent mount and I would have liked to learned how it worked w/o having to buy one myself.

Here are the two iPad mounting locations I've tried so far. Both work okay, but I'm not completely satisfied. The higher mount blocks more of the windshield, but is a bit more stable. I am using this mount and this cradle.

Sorry about the poor lighting, but I never seem to find time to do this when the sun is up...
