false, its purely a software issue. If the software was in english and the GPS had NZ maps then it would work good as gold.

Somebody should charge $1 a reply for this and retire on the income:I lived in Japan for several years; owned a top-end GPS out of Japan, had many friends who were top IT people in Japan with international experience, and the answer, without a shadow of a doubt is no, nada, forget about it, won't happen, don't waste your time, don't even ask, buy a local gps and stick it on the screen with the rubber sucker provided.Long-form answer as to why you are wasteing your time is $2.

i reckon an electronics engineer can easily retrofit a TOMTOM or Navman GPS and link it to the factory GPS LCD screen. If I was one, thats what I would try to do. ;)
gaah on second, most are not touch screen.

Probably only a few 100 of each car tops in NZ, only a small portion of those would pay up for any conversion, the maker of the kit would have to warranty it etc - so all up the cost would probably end up being a couple of grand per car to get it converted. Not likly that many of the small portion that wanted it done would pay that amount to convert it over.
