Inexpensive Dashboard PC

Kristian - Dreamless writes "Wanting to war drive with style? The other day I surfed the web to find a free dash pc solution to my car since the commercial ones cost around 2000-2500$ here in Denmark. I found DashPC.com and I must say this looks promising a very nice GUI and the features seems to be endless: Navigation with War driving, Multimedia and so on. Requirements? Low cost pc and a dash LCD display."

    No, his wardriving program just went out of range of the hotspot. As soon as he drives past another WiFi connection it'll be back up.

    Except for the odd occasion, when curiosity might drive you to look through the windshield to check what's on the road.
