    not sure there is one...

    Internet, go with an aircard. Most of the big name carriers have them.

    TV.. I'm assuming you mean signal - I'm pretty sure there's Dish.. there's also a phased array cube, I'm told, but not seen it - that does satellite

    GPS. Laptop and a $25 GPS dongle. Software, most people use CoPilot for Trucks

    The electronics section towards the bottom of the main page has some good information too.
