Default New ipad, what can i do?

Just got anew iPad 2. No 3G, but I know there r some pretty cool things you can do with these in a jeep. I am planning on mounting it on my dash over my stock unit, but I want into look fairly clean. I was considering cop 4x4 mount. But anyways what are you guys all doing with you iPads in you jeep. What apps, mounts, and other things have you found to be usefull?

Check out the app "oh, ranger" it will find all parks for you and let's you know orv and activities at each such as camping, hiking,etc. I love it and another good app is trail ranger. It records your angles through a trail and documents the entire trip. Good apps for iPhone or iPad.

Just realized that you may not be able to use these as you do not have the 3G. Sorry...

It has a clinometer app for pitch and roll and also has an app to monitor your engine that requires an add on to connect to your computer. And load up your iTunes , none of those need 3G
