Hackable In-Car GPS Unit?
gigne writes "I'm in the market for a new, in-car GPS/sat nav. I am preferably looking for one that has live, up-to-date traffic information and route planning that doesn't make you want to cry. I'm not quite dumb enough to drive off a cliff, but something that doesn't even try and lead me to watery doom is preferable. The only thing I absolutely must have is the ability to hack it. It would be preferable if it ran GNU/Linux, but given a convincing argument, I would be swayed to another OS. Without wanting the Moon on a stick, what is the best device that would offer a decent modding community and a good feature set?"
It is perfectly legal to do whatever you fucking want with an electronic device you own, at least in most countries.
Excellent. I shall now go around bludgeoning people with my keyboard.
You're the guy who wants to go bludgeoning people with his keyboard, aren't you?
I hope that is an IBM Model M keyboard, otherwise you will just end up breaking your keyboard.
