I love my TomTom One, but the occasional errors in the database drive me crazy, from the wrong location for a Starbucks to telling me to turn right and go off a cliff! (Hwy 168 west of Bishop, Calif.) End users could plug it into their PCs later and send updates to TomTom, which would then share them with other users.

However, the idea of creating better mounts, and ones that disappear so they don't invite thieves to ransack your car (whether your actual GPS is in your car or not) is a great idea.

Car manufacturers should develop a standard mount, like ubiquitous cigarette lighter power adapters, that let you mount any 3rd party GPS and don't invite thieves to rifle through your dashboard.

But anyways, the capability is pretty close to being there I guess is what i'm trying to say.

But someone should team up with Google and make a portable GPS system that ties into the GoogleEarth interface (or something similar to it) and gives you all of the information and view capabilities in a small portable device.
