Why not just get a standalone GPS? My buddy just bought this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16858108224

He loves it. You can update the maps frequently. You can even see yourself
turning when you hold it an spin in a circle. It's powered by the lighter,
and even tells you how fast you're going by the satellite. GOod reviews on
Newegg too. Let me know if you want to check it out, maybe he can stop by.
