And your idea, saumaun...that's exactly where I was going with it also, which is why I was looking into 5-7 inch portable monitors on ebay that had a/v inputs!...LOL. If you got a TV installed into your new car and made sure it had a/v input w/ rca output (to connect to your car stereo), you'd definitely be set! Technically, you could run the NAV (w/ the audio signal going to the car speakers) and view Google Maps / Mapquest or Yahoo Maps directions all at the same time. It would be ALMOST as good as having a portable nav...LOL.
I had a little 7 inch TFT LCD portable monitor that I used in my old car for gaming, paid like 70 bucks for it. I bought a velcro strap from Home Depot, stuck a piece on my dash, a piece on the back of the monitor, and I was in business! Talk about a inexpensive way for mobile entertainment. If I still had them both it would've been perfect for hooking up the Touch Pro to.
