    I'd like to get the Garmin GPS with the rearview camera license plate frame. It helps with backing up.
    Also has:
    Live Traffic, Live Parking, Live Weather
    & Live Track -via Smartphone Link App

    The old one I had died. It used to tell me when I was near an accident scene. I have an obsolete Magellan for now. It has a camera too. I don't usually use the camera function, unless there is an incident. Two sets of video is better than one!
    The GPS has a "Where am I now" which is great to be able report where you are in unfamiliar terrain.
    If it gets really crazy, I breakout the laptop. Mil Spec Dell 7424 maxed out with a "Street Atlas" program and external "LT 20" GPS sensor. With "Topo USA" program I can navigate Forest Service Roads. Laptop has internal GNSS that can use any nations satellites. External sensor and programs are from defunct Delorme Co., but still work great. Most of these item were bought on Ebay and are now available dirt cheap.

    An example:

    Watching dash-cam videos on Youtube is a glorious waste of time... the idiocy is amazing, often entertaining, and sometimes tragic.

    My dash cam plugs into the OBD which I like a lot more than the cigarette lighter style. Much more out of the way, no cords hanging around the center console or anywhere else visible. Plus, it doesn't rely on batteries to record when the vehicle is turned off. My vehicle can be parked for weeks and it will still come to life and record clips if there are any bumps detected.

    A near miss on Dash Cam recently.
    Watch the Hummer to the right.
    The camera is a Viofo A119 v2

    So much for yielding...

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
