The good ones will remind you ahead of times which streets to take ga mah.

I don't think a GPS can pronounce EVERY street name in the city. For example, except for those main roads, my GPS can only tell me "Turn righ in XX KM", "Take exit number XX" something like that.

Regardless of screen size, why would the driver read the GPS' screen anyway when he is driving? That's why you want TTS (text-to-speech) in the GPS to read you the street names ar mah.

Did you ever try driving with a talking GPS? (well, I think all GPSs are talk-able.) Even it can talk, you still need to look at the screen from time to time for many reasons ga bor, and actually sometimes you might think it talks too much and feel annoying tim, haha... .

Usually I travel alone, so I'll put the laptop on the passenger seat.
Or you can get a car laptop mount lor. . . (~$50)
Again, for guys without good eyes, I think it will be a better alternative.
