Gps, Evoscan question

Hey guys I've been looking at Evoscan and have a quick question. Can you use a gps unit (tom-tom, garmin) or do you need to purchase one of their screens?

I think that is a unit they built. I don't think it works with other GPS units.

That screen is basically the entire unit, you change that you lose all the functionality. Your better off getting a NetBook that has GPS ability and running EvoScan if you want one screen with both functions.

If you can get the tom tom to do anything besides navigation I think you can make lots of money. The reason these small units are so cheap is that they are designed for one thing and not able to have multiple uses.
