Rear View Mirrors

I Have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, and i snapped the stock rear-view off awhile back and I recently saw the screens in mirrors i.e. Lilliput's, and others; And was wandering if Instead of showing a Movie in the screen I could do GPS, because it is alot more useful. Any Ideas?

Edit:

Ebay Link

ebay Link claiming GPS Ready

The one above is intriguing I'm not sure is it any good?

Thanks for the help guys!
I have seen some availble on eBay are they any good?

I can't vouch for the quality, but yes you can do GPS in one.

It would be setup like any other dual monitor setup.

Well if you don't have a carPC, then no it wont work.

You need a gps unit with video out, and those dont exist for under $300. Good standalone GPS units don't even exist for under $300.

Hmm, maybe you could just hack the screen out of a tom tom and place it where the screen in the mirror is, and just extend the leads so the unit it self is hidden.

The touchscreen bit could be a problem though.
