In our despair after getting lost (in downtown LA) Klumzyee and i found a low-cost solution to those of us without nav. this mod is a direct bolt-on to the nav cubby. No tools necessary. Powered by Yahoo MapQuest. Works like a charm

Hahah, that's classic... yet so so familiar.

If you have a PDA (Palm, Ipaq, etc.) you can buy the GPS adapter for it as well.

Lol
You mean this mod is direct tape on. That's cool though. You could hold quite a few maps in the cubby.
