GPS with video in

Anyone know of a good GPS with line in for video? I have an old Magellan in my truck that I also use for the rear camera. It is a terrible GPS but video in is a pretty rare feature so that is why I have it. I would like to replace it if there is something else available. It is a 7" which is also a nice size (but very low resolution so it doesn't really use the 7" very well) but I could deal with a 5" if it was better and still had the line in. I am partial to Garmin if they have anything that supports this.

They also have a camera, but it is only compatible with the 7" models (dezl 760 and RV 760)

I believe the one I have now is a Magellan RoadMate 1700. The worst thing about it is that it just crashes all the time randomly. Sometimes it just shuts off. Sometimes it restarts. No particular rhyme or reason to it. I can't really trust it to route me the best way, either. And of course the maps are a few years old. No traffic either, which would be nice to have.
Any other brand devices that can be recommended?
I also have a dezl 760 and it is in a whole different league, certainly not "worse than the Roadmate 1700". I don't use cameras and just a drive a car, but I make my own highly detailed Garmin maps and really like the big screen. You can put it into automotive mode and it behaves just like a Nuvi. It is functionally almost identical to the Nuvi 3590 in automotive mode in fact, with the same menus and features (except no 3d terrain or buildings).
No idea about other brands. But if you want this kind of feature with a big screen and also a major name brand, I think it will be expensive. You must have gotten the Magellan at a sale of some sort. I think it was $300 when first introduced.
