Has anyone actually used an IPAD up there and how did it work? Back a couple years ago I tried that HP5550 PDA and a blue toothed GPS and XM antenna for weather. It was junk. The reason ultimately was proven to be the touch screen would deflect with the pressure changes and lead to spurious commands. HP actually wanted to check the device in their barometric chamber and determined the design flaw wasn't fixable. I went to a 496 and it has been bullet proof. I would appreciate any thoughts on the ipad. Michael Smith
