The Magellan Roadmate 760 is a very user friendly unit.
Touch screen
Portable: all it needs is a 12 volt source via a power outlet or hardwired like I did.
Nice thing about that is if a person goes on a trip or switches vehicles often enough it can go with very easily.
Maps are built in on the 20 GB internal hard drive
Can store addresses for three users.
Has an infrared sensor so a person can send adresses from a Palm or Pocket PC PDA.
Turn by turn directions with voice guidance.
Eventually I will upgrade to a car PC and utilize GPS with a tag on system to that.
This Tray will hold the LCD I end up going with.

Center dash removal
In order to get the top center dash piece off a person has to:
Remove the lower tray (ash tray)

I will use this to mount an LCD screen when I install my car PC. For now the GPS mount works great since it sinks the GPS lower into the dash so it doesn't block my view of the road.
One thing I should mention is about the bolts that hold the radio head unit in place. Be careful not to drop them when removing them... they disapear.

I will be pulling up the carpet on the drivers side to lay in some Fatmat sound dampener and will find the bolt then I am sure. That requires the removal of the left hand side seat...and the entire center console.

to answer the ?s of height... the angle it deciving... with the screen i can see everything on the road... it does not block anything...
as to the crime thing... i dont go anywhere that that would be a problem. but i also have a windshield shade that covers it..
hopefully derwankels folding screen option will happen in the not to distant future..
here is a photo from the drivers eye... and my nav system...
btw. 4years. like your setup also... and the install of the nav tray is a pain. that hidden bolt... arhhhhhhhh.
