    Has anyone figured out how to connect their portable GPS device to the Prius navigation screen? I really like my portable Garmin GPS (more accurate than the Prius GPS). Sure would be nice to connect it to the larger Prius screen.

    You could always use double-sided tape.

    The technology for accomplishing this is already halfway solved because the iPod/iPhone/iPod touch through the USB port on the VML can get full integration through the Prius navigation screen. If that is possible, then it seems to me that using the big Prius navigation screen as a display for the Garmin GPS is VERY POSSIBLE.
