Default What's the best Aftermarket NAV System?

What can I get aftermarket that looks nice and integrated, and has a good set of features?

(I'd do a search, but the search wasn't working last time I tried...)

Thanks in Advance!

Alpine is nice but I'm biased.

Alpine is the most advanced system, but you'll pay top dollar. The guys at the audio shop I've been going for years all recommend Alpine, my last car they actually told me to save my money and until I had enough for the Alpine unit. Some say it's not worth paying for a name, the way I look at it, there's a reason as to why the name costs so much. I'll definitely put Alpine in the Z once the finances allow.

I am partial to the Kenwood. I have the 2100 nav unit and the Kenwood Kvt-911dvd head unit. Really like the touch screen feature and the switchable birds eye view.

hit me up in a week or two when my car is ready i'll let you demo my Kenwood unit. But you cant go wrong with Alpine or kenwood. I've used Pioneer and their interface is a bit confusing. Spend a lil more and get the touch screen Kenwood, no fumbleing with the remote.

best looking one has to be the eclipse av2454 i think is the model number, double din 6.5" touch screen with nav,dvd,mp3,and cd. killer piece and no additional brain it is an all in one unit. if you want to compare how the nav system is it's the same as the lexus system eclipse is made by fujitsu and denso who happen to be the makers of all of lexus and toyota stuff.

What about something that we can use on windows for people that have or thinking about getting in-car PC? But yeah, I've heard many raves about Alpine and Kenwood nav systems.

I'm waiting on this badboy to come out, Alpine IVA-D300. I got the 900 now but the shop said they will swap me out when these finally come in...heres an article about it, I know its not a nav unit but its the reason I'm sticking with Alpine.
