bigger is better

among the new wave of portable GPS this one caught my eye...

Magellan 9055. 7" HD screen WITH input for AV and back up camera! i want to find a creative way to mount it

http://www.magellangps.com/Products/...-RoadMate-9055

anyone have any experience with these? vs the 9020?

I busted my old Magellan and they are offering me a trade in for $189.99

(bought my old top of the line 4250 back in the day for $375.99 (2008)

If I see the mounted GPS and then I see the 550 badge, I would most likely think it's a poser. No offense, midnight. Maybe you could swap the gps and give it to the wife.

What I do since I too have no nav is to use the suction cup mount and mount it to the face of the radio and it then is right where the factory nav would be. Not perfect, but it works fine. Just wipe the screen of the radio first so it does not get scratched. I would add the factory nav if I could find one I know worked and if I knew how much work went into it.
