Are there any car (DIN/Double DIN) displays that use MapPoint yet? I'd love to get a color screen that could do mapping with MapPoint and play DVDs.

and if you add in what map point is really designed for, you can get the geographical listing of which roads around where you are driving order the most pizza from pizza hut (remember map point was designed for data mapping which is what the commercial version still is, not road maping like this is)

http://mappoint.msn.com/ seems to do a good job with directions, even if it wasn't designed to give them.

I love mappoint, I run it in my car on a Mini-itx machine with 7" touchscreen, GPS, and MediaCar as a front.
