When I navigate via Google Maps, which is pretty often, I tend to turn
off the phone's screen and use the voice prompts. Accordingly, I don't
really care how big the display is. Maybe that would work for you, as
well.

"In 1000 feet, turn right onto Palisade Parkway."
"In a quarter mile, use the left lane to turn left onto Main Street."
"Your destination is on the right."

Thanks. I think I'm going to get something like this. Yeah, as
Vanguard points out, being on the laptop is probably not as good as
under the windshield, but I have enough cords already**, no good way to
attach it to the dashboard, especially with a rental car. (If it's
really terrible I can still buy a better one.) I think it comes with,
or points to, some map software. After all, no one would want it if he
had to write his own.

**From the mouse and the keyboard. I've thought about getting wireless
mouse and keyboard, but I actually use the cords to find the mouse or to
pull in the keyboard when it's on the floor in front of the passenger
seat.

I've been sleeping in the car for about 60 days over 4 trips in the last
6 years and just now for the first time the police talked to me. No one
had ever appeared to notice me before.

I parked where I was unusually noticeable tonight, 200 feet from a
private, maybe a resort community, on the beach, but few cars went by,
maybe only 2. (Maybe few people are here because it's still cold.
That's why I'm sticking to low altitudes and not going up to higher
areas like I want to.)

It's been dark for 2.5 hours and a car drove up in the dark. He parked
with his passenger seat next to mine so i could hardly hear him. He
just wanted to know where I was from, what I was doing (touring). Then
he said he and the guy next to him were police, and then he held up his
walled with his id. All I could see is that maybe it was blue. But I
called out "I believe you" because I did. Then they left. Neither had
even gotten out of their car. He might have gone into the community to
tell them I'm okay. (I sound just like an American tourist.)

Thanks, but I absolutely need the map. Partly because I pass other
things I want to know what they are, partly because it clarifies the
voice (and even then I've taken the wrong road several times. (If the
map were on phone on the dash, I probably wouldn't have.)

Pulling up a laptop by the mouse cord sounds like a terrible idea,
