Really what I'm looking for (and have been looking to find for months now) is a screen that can display GPS well... Most screens out there can handle playing movies and running Cobra and the like, but the problem lies in display the maps for GPS and still being able to read the street names without having to squint. So...
Could everyone that uses GPS post what brand/model LCD they have, and if it displays the maps clearly?

I have a 6.4" Mobile TV LCD. I run MS Strrets & Trips. The font size on the maps and written directions need to be cranked up to about 14 or 16 in order for you to read them on the road.
That means you only have about half the screen available for the actual map. IMO, it's barely usable.

Come on guys I know some of you have GPS setups in your car!
I'm curious too. I was using Delorme's Earthmate + Street Atlas 7.0 but it sucks some serious SERIOUS *** on a 6.4". The tiny font size is HARDCODED (according to the techguy), which sucks if you plan to use it in the car (its completely unreadable). I'm currently looking at the CoPilot but its pretty damn expensive. Anyway want to sell one used??

The screen I'm using is a little different than what you're probably looking for, but I've put a few pics up of Street Atlas Deluxe running at different zoom settings. At 200% zoom the fonts might be easier to read, even on a smaller composite input screen.
