Would it be possible to use something like this:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?P29521555 (This is a link to a thin LCD

screen
for sale on Ebay)

...hooked up to a GPS receiver? Is there a way to output a GPS moving

map
to something like this?

The price is certainly attractive... And -- if it were possible -- you

sure
couldn't beat the size of the moving map!


I doubt the resolution is good enough to read waypoints and such. And I
also doubt it's readable in direct sunlight. But shoot - at that price it's
cheap enough to fiddle with - and if it didn't work, put it in the car for a
monitor for the kids to use.


They're available from
http://www.etronics.com/listproducts...nics/Mobile_Vi
deo/LCD_Monitors/In-Dash_Monitors for the same price too, and they have
other smaller cheaper ones.
