I can't really help you with your request... but, once you DO get it working... Let me know where you live, and what type of car you drive...

Oh, and please try to avoid street lights when you park the car for the evening.  It would help me out a lot.

Thanks!

Here aswell.

Maybe you've got a different approach, but it doesn't look too good. I don't know what a GPS mouse is, but their way seems blocked. Good luck, if you try it anyway.

Well i dunno about you but i got about a 4000 cdn stereo system in my car and i got it so secured that it even takes me about 30 just to get the system out. i got it screwed and steel strapped down along with the deck and its all hidden so anyone with a little guts go hard. cause by the time a get paged and am at my car if that person can have it in that time i'll gladly let them have it....

The major hurdle for running gps navigation on the xbox would be porting the existing nav software.  Then you would need a usb driver to communicate the gps info to the program.  If someone can port the main program, I can write the usb driver.  I have written a gps driver for the pc, and could easily port it, but the nav program is a little out of my league (or time table).
