Are GPS systems legal, in Spain

[pickers]

I read this on a TomTom go forum.

Quote:
According to I have understood all display screens are banned except the vehicle parameters indication screens (GPS included).

There is a lot of new cars that brings from factory screens like GPS on the dashboard by default, and it have ok the Vehicle Technical Inspection (ITV in Spanish).

Of course, another type of display screen like monitors, DVD or TV are banned (only on the front side).
