Looks like 5" is the biggest Garmin makes for automobiles and they have no backup camera input.

Yeah, I was just browsing their site. Not much new since my 1490LMT model. Just some thinner ones, and HD radio traffic (I think?). Also some take voice commands now.

Anyone using this or something similar?Waze
Looks like maps with real time updates, no more dead ends, real time cops and accidents and a gas finder rolled into one.

Must be tied to Google maps program. It looks like a useful tool. Though will it cause more accidents with people fiddling with their Smartphone while driving?

Augmented reality windshields are going to fix that problem.

I think it's a great idea. Dash tried this but didn't get enough buy-in from people.
The fact that this works on Apple or Android should help it a lot.
Too bad I'm stuck with BlackBerry (required for work).

Some people will see that female in the windshield and then slam on the brakes and get rear ended.

"That $3,000 navigation system in your new car's dashboard "is most likely going to be outdated in three years," Green says. He estimates that a $2,500-$3,000 navigation system on a 2013 model car will lose most of its value and add no more than $300 to its resale value in three years when compared to a 2013 base model."How To Buy a Low-Tech Car

Yeah, special order that new E-class with no nav (it can be done), just plan to keep it for the rest of your life, as you'll never be able to sell it. Although the option depreciates along with the car, it is expected in some classes of vehicle, and is a resale destroyer if lacking.
