Was this an option or has he done it himself? Ive always had the idea that when i get my cerb then ill get a tom tom ann basically build it into the dash someware. Has anybody done anything similar or have any other good sat nav solutions?

I have a garmin I3. Small unit that I can shove 'into' the roll bar over the rear view mirror. Am still tempted to make a carbon fibre or leather holder for it to make it 'built-in'.
There are a few cerbs with pop up screens out of the din slot that are used as sat nav.

I have a TomTom one which works surprisingly well in the cubby hole underneath the stereo. I've taken the low tech approach of using a beanbag to rest it on which works well as it keeps the screen out of direct sunlight. The added advantage is that I can put the beanbag over the front of the TomTom hiding it from view when I leave the car.

You can also get head units that look like radios with sat nav built in. You just get arrows on the screen pointing you in the right direction.

take a look in Halfords - they've got lots to give you ideas.
