that would be really hard to see when using the gps mode. It looks nice though and it seems like a good idea but I have a hard time using my standard gps, I cant imagine having to look up to the even smaller screen to figure out where to turn. Whats the price on that?

Looks pretty sweet, although I agree it would be awkward and difficult to view the GPS in the rear-view mirror position. However, they say the screen is 4-inches, which is bigger than the 3.5-inch screen on my Garmin Nuvi 350.
All-in-all, I think it would be fairly dangerous to have a GPS there. The distraction of my Nuvi on the windshield is not horrible, but it is noticable. But I can still easily see the road and what is ahead of me. If I had to look up to a screen much closer to me, it would be like taking my eyes completely off the road. Too dangerous...
cool - I need that for my other car, no need to tear the dash apart and as long as it has voice navigation you don't need to look at the screen very often.
