Would it be possible to use something like this:

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

deo/LCD_Monitors/In-Dash_Monitors for the same price too, and they have
other smaller cheaper ones.
