I think this is a great idea. Let's face it, cars have optional navigation systems that you can use but most would prefer Google maps or whatever Apple comes with. Those maps are usually updated more often and has real time traffic information, also I'm more used to how it works. If it sames me some money and allows me to use Google maps, I'm all for it.
Use Your Own Navi!
As mentioned before, and easily seen within the Toyota TJ Cruiser, there is no large navigation screen dead center in the dash that you can touch to input addresses or just see where you are for that matter.
Instead, above the small gauge cluster screen in the dash, there is a spot to slide your cell phone into and you can utilize that.
For one, it will limit people actually holding their phones and using them because they're quite out of reach. So that's a plus.
But secondly, everyone loves their own maps on their Android or Apple and we've grown accustomed to using it, so why not continue?
Do you think this is a good idea or would you rather a separate navi ?

Windshield mounted, vent mounted, some people are even using steering wheel mounted which I think would really throw me off. But an adjustable mount where they have it located in the photos wouldn't be difficult at all. Until phones just all become the size of iPads.
