After first seeing the area directly under the stereo and how large it was, I thought this would be the best spot for an after market GPS unit. I know it is not the best for looking at while trying to drive but I feel that with the hidden power outlet (NO CORDS!), large size and the fact that most navigation systems talk you through the drive now (ie; speak the street names rather than having to actually look for street names on unit), this is a no brainer.
I got a great deal on a TomTom XXL 540TM with a nice 5" screen on amazon last week and the mount it comes with is perfect for our vehicles. The satellite reception is perfect as well so no issues besides it being a little out of eye site. See my install below, I like how it turned out with no cords in view, you can even fold it back in a bit so it isn't as viewable from outside. I imagine if you got one of the smaller units you could fold it completely up and out of view but this one is a bit larger so its not possible. There is even some room under this so you can still use it for storage. Let me know if you have any questions.
