I know it's not an integrated solution, but an iPad mini (or similar) with cellular service and Google Maps works just fine - and better than Map Pilot, Garmin, or TomTom. The directions will play through BlueTooth audio and the iPad can be hung from the A/C vents with any of a number of inexpensive aftermarket brackets. I'm sure someone out there knows how to integrate the display because the iPad has an Export Screen feature but I haven't found it necessary.

Somewhat off-topic- Does anyone else have problems with the Becker finding addresses? 90% of the time it will not acknowledge an address I enter. Often times it won't even recognize the correct city, and will change the city to something completely different.
This happens via voice or manually entering destinations.

I have that thing in my C180k 2008, and I love it. But if you want to use navigation you will need an internet connection. You can use your phone as a Mobile AP, or, atleast here in Sweden you can get a thing to plug into the OBDII that gives the car WIFI (20gb) per month, and some other features. Like tracing your car if its stolen and alot more. That costs about $10/month.

You may even be able to put a sim card into the screen itself, but im not sure.
