Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could be twice the size, that would be great. I find the road/shoulder/weather buttons are the perfect size to tap with one hand while driving, and keeping your eyes on the road.

I must agree with this comment as I believe that attempting to read a message on my Ipad 4 screen mounted on the dash could lead to serious distraction resulting in a potential accident. Text should be legible clearly from a distance of 1 meter or so. Either have a zoom feature when tapping with finger on the text or offer various text sizes as an option.

I agree with this totally! Although, I'm sad to see this doesn't have very many up-votes... yet ;)
The menus for reporting an event (hazard on road, traffic, etc) I think should be larger on the iPad. When I'm driving, I don't have time to allow my eyes to fully focus on the screen and read everything in detail -- I'M DRIVING, DUH! lol.
It would be extremely helpful to blow these menus up to take advantage of the majority of the screen (similar to how the menus take up the majority of the screen on iPhone) so that way I can QUICKLY glance at the various menus/buttons I need to select to report an event, without taking my eyes off the road for too long.
