The Omnitech GPS can be had on eBay for as little as 70-80 dollars new if you can't find it in stores. and also come with a lot of games, programs, utilities, Office for PocketPC, etc. There are already SD card images on the net that include multiple GPS programs like iGo8, TomTom, Nav N Go, Destinator, etc. They run Windows CE5, and all of the files are stored on the SD card so it's incredibly easy to modify. On a good sale day you could get the GPS unit for under $80, and some have even found them as cheap as 50-60. The most hackable GPS I have seen and owned is the Omnitech 4.3 inch GPS unit sold at Staples. ![]() My own research turned up Navit which looks pretty good for the navigation piece. I think a feature-complete system would require a fast processor, a large display (probably requiring custom dashboard work), and a lot of wiring. Most existing systems have only a few of the aforementioned features, they tend to run fairly slow, and they have startup times that leave you wonting for music. It could track fuel usage on every trip, overlay Wikipedia geographic coordinates, log milage information for tax reasons, record traffic stops (even capturing a few minutes of video prior to the stop), and countless other things.Ī good system would boot up in less than two seconds, start playing music where it left off, and instantly switch on a rear-view camera as soon as the car switches to reverse. Imagine if the computer could hook up to OBD-II, odometer, speedometer, radio, rear-view camera, a cell/wireless network, and other in-car systems. It would be nice to have, not just a GPS system, but an in-car computer. I think the market has lots of room for improvement. ![]()
