GPS for KR?

I would like to get a GPS for the new KR, idealy one built into dash. Is anything out there? Or would the best I could do be something like the Magellan Roadmate with winshield mount?

Signed,
Lost
(this is a normal thing that GPS won't fix )

I have a Garmin 276C and love it. Big fat display, voice directions, excellent quality. I mounted it on the dash on the left. I'll post a picture when I can.

While you might want to check out the Multimedia/Navigation Forum, my vote is for the Pioneer AVIC-D1 . It replaces the factory HU.

This is what I had in mind. A bit pricey, but it is right. Thanks!

I like the way you set this up...almost "line of sight" so as not to get that "head-bob" with turning to the right all the time. Thanks. A "heads-up" display would be perfect, but stripping an F-18 would a bit costly.

My Nissan 350Z was just totalled a few months ago. I bought it with the optional Navigation system. I got so attached to it that when the car was totalled my next car had to have one. Of course the 05 F150 didn't have one as an option, so I bought a Garmin 330. The system has great audio quality is relatively small with a nice sized display and recalculates VERY quickly if you get off route. It has a fairly decent suction mount bracket which attaches to the windshield. The big advantage over a hard mounted unit is you can hide it within seconds and take it with you when you travel or swap it between vehicles. Cost was right at 700.00.
