I like collecting HYBRID badges while they are moving. LOL I personally think you are safer taking a peek once in a while at some Disney movie on for the kids than trying to watch a GPS screen. I noticed in that list you can use it for view and extra viewing for backup camera and I would assume forward also. Whats the difference there? I think I would locate my module where I can quickly flip the dip switch for that part of it all off. There are some setup tricks with the new 3.0 where you can turn it off so that if a cop were to try to make it work it won't you push certain buttons twice then another one once or some crap. Sure the cops will figure it out but unless they are riding in an SUV or pickup or way behind me they wont see way up there anyway.
