Hi Russ
I've been running a very similar system for a few years now.
(Itronix Gobook + 10" touch screen on the dash + Gps + Oziexplorer + GE). It's taken a while to get it working reliably but it is pretty sorted now.
A few things learnt along the way:
*PC's are inherently fiddly things, they need attention. The gobook started in the back in a case and ended up in the front where I could get to it quickly.
*I don't know about MM, but Oziexplorer does not suit a touch screen interface and neither does driving offroad. My solution in the end was a usb glide pad glued to the centre of the steering wheel. Perfect.
*Pay attention to the connections or the wires and plugs will drive you mad!
*If you are feeling James Bondish you can incorporate reversing cameras/night vision/ICE systems etc. but simple, I think, is best.
Good luck with your project,
Richard
