Looking for in Dash Radio/GPS
Going to update the dash and want to put in a new radio/GPS system. Any recommendations? I'd like to stay with Kenwood because then I can use Garmin maps but will consider anything. Prefer a 2 DIN set...

I can't imagine looking over at the radio screen for GPS navigation. IMHO a smartphone running Google Maps, or a stand alone GPS mounted to a windshield bracket is the way to go as far as safety is concerned. My smartphone is directly in front of me just to the left of the dash so I don't have to take my eyes off of the road. I also run another android app, Car Home Ultra, for speed, weather, heading, etc., while driving. I don't think apple has a comparable app. Good luck with your decision.
I for one don't want to look at a small phone screen as I think that would be dangerous especially if it is right in front of you.
In researching units, I have found that some Kenwood models will pair with an iToy or Android phone so the Google maps can be used instead of built in maps.
Still looking.
