@Emanuel @Mike M. @Diego I ended up getting one of these arms so that it is height adjustable, and can swing right over to my 'cockpit' area when driving.... And fold away when not in use.

(Yes it's RAM)

No complaints so far. Mounts to the passenger seat mounting brackets

Seems a very good and solid mount especially for larger devices. My challenge with this setup would be what to do with the pole that is standing up when not in use. This is my daily driver....unless it can be used for pole dancing then it is something to consider

Habibi I use the Gaia gps on the screen of the raptor through apple play and it works… true thst you don’t have all functionalities but works as map and keep tracks.

what is the need behind the need?? 😂

Does it show you anything other than the map. I am unable to use any of the Gaia features. The map is not even the same between the phone and the car. Would be nice to see it next time we drive together @Diego

if you have the pro version of gaia, and preset your map layers, you can get it to display on android auto. (not sure about car play). gives me option to record and display terrain on the main console.. however once an hour or so whilst recording it occasionaly just crashes.....  using gaia on the phone tho had no issues with recording rendering maps... unless having phone up near window in summer and the phone overheating and turning off...😅
