UncySpam, welcome aboard. I looked at the EEPC myself as an option. There is a very active forum here:
http://forum.eeeuser.com/ and you can get touch screens off eBay for them. www.gamedude.com.au up here have them for about the $400 mark. Some people have fitted a bluetooth dongle internally. Jaycar has a mini BT dongle that you could coerce into the EEE pc case. Then I would have hardwired a bluetooth GPS receiver into the car. Details all on the forum above. I thought I could strap a board with some velcro on it to the open ashtray and stick the PC onto the velcro. Would have been much cheaper than my project, about the same cost as the monitor alone.
By the way guys, I have started a worklog here:

Hi Guys
Please keep the PC hardware talk to the Ausie Offroad Carputers thread... http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/gene...carputers.htmlWe're trying to keep this one clean just for Ozi Skinning.
Cheers

Quick update for everyone...
Rod and I've run into some problems with the OziSave program which is supposed to look after saving waypoints etc to file. We hoped to have V1.0 of the skin out by the end of this weekend but this will depend on the success of fixing OziSave.
You'll hear it here when the release is made.

Sorry about this guys. The OziSave progam I wrote which works on two PC's in sunny QLD does not play nicely down south on Justins PC. I need to add some detailed error logging to a file so he can track down what is sending it off the rails south of the border. See how I go over the next couple of days...
Cheers
Rod

I have sent Bugger a new version of OziSave which hopefully won't GPF on his system and should write out an error log to a text file, which should help us to identify the problem.

We have isolated the error in Ozisave. It was ocurring in the OziExplorer API so it was not a problem I created. The erorr is easilly resolved by downloading the latest version of OziExplorer.
Bugger has been able to fully embed OziExplorer and our OziSave.exe into Skinbedder and has sent me release candidate 1.0 complete with the new skins and installation instructions etc to review. It was working fine for him. I downloaded the latest RR sources and installed a brand new version of RR on my system. I followed Bugger's instructions and it fired up straight away and but SB raised a couple of errors on exit on one of my PC's. The data we want to preserve is saved on hibernate and exit from RR which is really good as it makes the system safe!
As far as I am concerned, this is as good as we can get. Let's not loose sight of the fact that we have achieved what was near impossible, so we might just have to live with this.
We'll just have to wait until Bugger can publish this.
Well done Bugger, lets give him a round of applause!

OziEmbedded V1.0 Release
Don't play your work down either rod. Thanks for all the graphics and the extra work you put in with OziSave.
Well here it is people...
OziEmbedded Version 1.0 - Site 1
OziEmbedded Version 1.0 - Site 2
As Rod said, there may still be a few bugs but in general it's quite usable and a good basis for the next version.
Please download and use it and post back here any comments good or bad.
Cheers, Justin.

Sorry about the link problem... It's all back up now.
I'll see what I can organise in terms of file hosting.

Bugger and I are both using the Road runner standard Brushed Metal Skin (BMV2). The zip file Bugger did up will contain the required files to drop into your skin folder and the readme.txt file tells you what command to use to OziEmbedded from the main menu. Pretty sure he has also included a new set of main menu .JPG's fro BMV2 which has an OziExplorer Button in place of XM radio.
If you have a standard install of the BMV2 skin and follow the readme.txt instructions, you should get it up and running as I tested it against a brand new RR installation. I usually copy the default skin to a new folder so I have a fall back point.
It does not really matter which skin you use as everything is self contained in Skinbedder. You just need to set up the button you want to use to start Skinbedder. The same should apply for other FE's like FreeIce Millsy is using.
