Archie Pelago Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hello all, Looking to source a decent windscreen/windshield mount for an ipad mini to use on long car trip next month. Based in Phuket but can order from Bangkok or have a friend buy from there and send down. Any recommendations appreciated. If anyone has experiences/advice on using an ipad mini for navigation/GPS would also love to hear from you. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunerboi Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 dx.com has a wide range and they ship to Thailand. Watch the "import levies"... TomTom Thailand and Sygic SE Asia (with Thailand maps) both work real well... have had great experience in BKK and outside (driving to golf courses). Hope this helps!

keeniau96 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have seen many of such in Pantip Plaza, mostly in the little open vendor booths lining the central open area, from mezzanine on up to 4th floor, In Phuket take a look at Big-C in the basement, several of the booths rnear the Amorn end of the basement. Also on the top above the supermarket is a large shop with various computer odd 'n ends, think I saw such mounts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoli Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Used my iPad mini with Google Maps as a GPS on a trip to Buriram from Pattaya. This was the best GPS system I have ever used. Absolutely brilliant. When you set up your route you first need to be connected to the internet, then you can turn off your internet connection and it works flawlessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 There's at least one place in Fortune Town that does the RAM range of mounts http://www.rammount.com/ , take your tablet and find the one that suits best. Mix and match the bits as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoli, I read with interest your post above. I would like to use my iPad mini for navigating too. I've tried getting google maps on my iPad mini too, but I appear it's only an iPad app. Which app exactly were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Careful with your mounts. I have one that fixes to the aircon vents - feels very flimsy and i dislike the ipad wobbling like khun yais knockers every time we driver over a toothpick :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
