Standalone GPS w/ A/V input??

Does anyone know of a stand alone GPS navigation that has an A/V input. I'm not looking for an in-dash GPS/DVD. I was originally looking at a Garmin nuvi 650, then I thought "wouldn't that be cool if I could input video into that somehow". I can't seen to find any that do this. Any help on this would be great.

Not sure if you absolutely need audio, but if you're using it to hook up a rear back-up camera, the NUVI 5000 has a composite video input.

Thanks. You're right I would just need the video input. I might use it to hook up a back up cam, but my primary concern is inputing DVD to it. I could probably figure out a way to switch between the 2 if I went that route.

You could run the audio through your car system with aux input or an FM transmitter.

Yeah I'm already running audio in for my Ipod so I would use just unplug my ipod and plug the dvd player into that. My plan is make a nice mount (that is removable) for whatever nav./dvd player I end up getting. It will mostly be used for nav. but I want to have the option of pluging in a dvd for when we take road trips.

The Garmin StreetPilot 7200, 7500, and Nuvi 5000 all have video input.

I can help you with questions you have about any of these units, let me know if you do.
