Just to let you know, it is illegal to have any TV, or movie screen in front of the driver activated, while the gears are in drive position. Mapping programs are different. Lot of people do illegal conversions, but better not let the cops see it, while you are driving.
In many states, the laws are written in such a way that the radio station display on the MCS would be illegal, as would a NAV screen. Basically the wording of “video� or “television� is the issue and it is left up to the court’s interpretation. Here’s a link that includes the wording of state laws, although I am not sure how up to date the information is:
