If they just made a small glovebox in the front of the dash where you could velcro or mount a certain size GPS to it and furnish the power, speaker wire and a antenna and the GPS makers would have a model availible in a week to fit it.

The aftermarket is another story. There is competition for every feature/function. To spend more than $1,000 you would have to hire a chauffeur.
In all honesty, a car that could run (or interface to) any major aftermarket GPS system would have a tremendous advantage. Look at the software and applications available on phones already. GPS is not much more accurate than cell-phone tower triangulation. When the best applications become portable, technology flourishes.
Microsoft/Ford anyone? |
