    It wouldn't be hard. I have one that I use in my other car. It just sticks to the windshield with a suction cup. It uses the cigrette lighter for power. Mavericks have both a windshield and a cigrette lighter so it should work. Scooper has one that you can see in his hatcam video.

    I was checkin out the new Garmins this weekend at Target! Wow, bigger screens and less money. I paid $329 a couple years ago for one, now you can get a better one for $189. Anybody wanna buy a nice used Garmin? :huh:

    I've done that, among many other things that I've added to my Maverick. I currently use a Garmin 780 that is a couple years old. It is suction cup mounted like most of them are and I like it a lot.

    Get a Garmin...you won't go wrong. :)

    I have a Garmin Quest in mine, got it off Epay for $68 with maps, USB cables, power supply for indoor programing. It's small, you can pop it out of the bracket and stick it in your pocket to use while your hiking around. Previous owner only used it for a couple months.

    Garmin all the way! Pa in law bought a TomTom, what a piece of junk! Garmin is way simpler to program. Get one that gives voice turn by turn directions, much better than the ringing bell in a TomTom!

    My mother just got a new Magellan, pretty nice. Seems to have the same voice as my Garmin.

    you know it has a wind shield. and if i wanted i can put in a cigarette lighter. i was dreaming of flush mounting a 6" screen in my center counsoul that would have navigation, digital data display, and dvd. then i rembered that it its a budget street strip car, not a useless ricer that has every useless acessory out there.
