If you cannot get a navigation map, I suppose you can at least get a GPS signal and thus, you may select the "car position" item in the nav menu. This gives you the position in degrees and the altitude.
This is not so much but it is already something.

Please notice that there are software for pocket PC that allow you to scan almost any map and let you define two point to navigate then on the map. You may use you car GPS to "feed" the software and with an additional antenna, you may then navigate on the map using you pocket PC. Of course, you will still not have the route calculation...
