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.

Back to the original question, YES Garmin does have wirerless back up camera for their GPS. Look at the "RV" section.
