Backup camera on Garmin?

Is this a possibility?
I know "nada" about electronics, so I was just wondering if anyone has thought this might be a possibility.

Anything is possible if you know what to do but since you know nada about electronic then it is probably beyond your reach. Easier to get a cheap composite monitor and hook up a cheap ccd camera to it then to try wiring it into a Garmin GPS.

Or you can buy a Garmin that's already designed with a backup camera.

Thanks for the compliment of calling me a young guy, but I'm a part of the baby boomer generation.

Yeah,
That's right respect the GEEZERS...we remember the time BEFORE Air Bags, Seat Belts, Directional Signals, O/s Mirrors, only AM radios, AND gas at 5 gallons for a buck....

Thanks, Daka, for making me fee [relatively] young. When I started driving in the early seventies, before the 1974 oil crisis, gas was maybe 50 cents a gallon, and our VW Karmann Ghia convertible would get 30 plus miles on that fifty cents ....

If you consider inflation over this period from 1974... $1.00 in 1974 had the same buying power as $5.04 in 2014. Some of the new hybrid cars nowadays does 60 plus per gallon.
