    In regards of Harware:

    The following are essential:

    Slim
    High resolution screen
    fast and reliable
    battery and AC power compatible
    USB connection
    SD card slot
    Remote Control
    Large Touch Screen
    External Antenna (option)
    minimal wiring
    Option to link with Car Audio System
    Car installation kit (windshield mount + dash mount)
    One of the models can have MP3, Video, and multimedia would be cool (like an all in one GPS/entertainment model)

    hope its helpful coz ita all i can think of now.

    One feature which I havent seen in any GPS is to have something like satellite google maps .And have an option of hybrid map like google maps have .

    hmmm.. apple iphone has that but no built in GPS.
