navigation in driver-side visor?
has anyone seen or even heard of this being done? I don't really want a detachable Navi system, but I also don't want to do a lot of mods to my dash. Has anyone heard of navigation being put in the visor, when its flipped down? I know they make visors with TV's in them, just curious if you can install navi to it too?

thanks for the reply. Yea, i know that the LCD's in the visors exist...a good friend of mine put two 9" in his RSX-s. By the way, 9" for the visor is too large, id suggest sticking to 7". Anyway...I'm not sure if you can connect a GPS system to those TVs tho...any ideas anyone?
Yeah, I know that there are some GPS systems that have a video out, which would plug into the screen. Sorry, I can't think of any models off the top of my head, but I know they're fairly common.
It's gonna cost like $2000 to do. $1600 for the navi plus screens and wiring etc.
That sounds kinda dangerous if you ask me, with most navi's you're not diverting your eyes from the road that much, if you look up at the sun visor, wouldn't that be .. i dunno .. nvm ..

All Navi's Everywhere have the warning, Do not use while operating a motor vehicle on them .. makes you scratch your head and say .. wait huh ? .. Then why make something .. It's dangerous using anything that is going to take away your attention from the road, that goes for radio's as well.
As for having one in your head unit or on the dash, and having one on a visor that you have to tilt your head back and look up at and that's obstructing the view of the road... now that's .. yeah ..
