Does anyone know of a GPS unit that, on top of giving driving directions, can display a map of the area?

It would be great if the maps had street names and if I have a GPS coordinate, allow me to input that then find the location . Essentially, I am looking for a self contained device with the functionality of google maps, with a large screen, and has no need for a cell connection.

Any Ideas??

There is an option on Google Maps that activates the GPS, but it doesn’t appear as it should be. Doesn’t give directions either.It’s just a dot on Google’s map. Do I need to install sth like the Destinator7?Can’t I avoid it?Please help

I downloaded and installed both Google maps, and the Modaco hack. Turned on comm 4 and was able to use the GPS for about 20 minutes. Now everytime I try to serach for sattelites, it tells me that I need a data plan. Why did it work for me at first, and not now ? Can I use it without a data plan ?
