Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like Ram has the best solutions. Turns out my iPad doesn’t have a GPS, so for now the iPhone will be used for navigational purposes.

Which gooseneck is that? How stable do you find it?

I installed it last night so I haven't taken it off road but the few trips around the block it seems relatively stable. If I find I need to stabilize it, I'll figure out a way to secure the aluminium rod to the center kick panel.
Heres a link to amazon but I was lucky enough to find one on ebay for $25 including the 7-8" tablet X-Grip

My Garmin inReach on my windshield in the earlier photo is what I use as my GPS antenna for my iPad. It's also a satellite messaging system that can get me out of a jam if I get into trouble by myself. But there are other antennas out there that can talk to your iPad via Bluetooth as well.
Check this out.

Interesting...I am getting ready to buy an InReach mini. Sounds like I have some research to do to better understand it's capabilities. What app do you use as a GPS with your iPad?

Oh, that's perfect. You're all set then. I use Gaia GPS. Took a while but I got the hang of it. It really paid off for an excursion I did near Lake Tahoe where the trail had really changed from the map but I was able to make my way without too much worry and understand the lay of the land.

I've got Gaia aslo. I haven't used it much yet. I have the regular $20 version, not sure if I'll upgrade to the premium $40 one.

Yeah, you'll just connect your InReach to your iPad via Bluetooth and Gaia automatically senses the GPS connection. I went ahead and went for the premium version of Gaia last summer because I did this huge trip from Austin to Washington and all the mountains in between, by myself. The extra features were nice to have, but I think I would be fine without them most of the time.

Does that not block some of your view of the road over the hood? If not, I like that spot!

It doesn't have much of an effect for me personally! I'm pretty tall so it mostly just sits in the area of my vision that the upper dash sits in!

+1 for this. Garmin InReach connected to iPad. Provides GPS plus emergency call for help.
