Considering most electronics of this type area now modular, and there
is plenty of cheap electronics manufacturers in Asia, most of whom
would have distribution networks already, the bigger problem I think
would be the actual satnav software, because to date I haven't seen
any free software that would be good enough for most consumers.

Garmin sure, the others usually have screens that are too small to be as useful.
