Probably not - but on the other hand, what the hell?

Like Pioneer and Garmin, other makers of GPS units are branching out into entertainment. For example, Magellan's $1100 RoadMate 800 lets you plug in an SD Card or MultiMediaCard and play music or display photos (but not, probably, while driving).
I once saw a woman do some kind of makeup thing to her eyes while driving a bumper-to-bumper 70 on Chicago's Eisenhower Expressway so I figure, hey, what harm could a couple of snapshots do? Of course I've been driving around in the boonies of Western Mass for so long now I figure just getting to work in Chicago on a normal day would be an exercise in abject terror, so who am I to say?

Anyway this stuff does sound awesomely cool, all the new gizmos they're putting in cars these days, and it'd be pretty hard to resist. You could just park in your driveway and watch movies or something, that would be OK.
