agreed! our $89 tomtom works just fine.

So all in all, what is the best bet for a GPS in place of the radio of the SVX?

Anybody wanna make up a chart or something of best to worse based on what people have already done.. Also from espensive to cheap?

Usually most vendor sites like best buy, amazon, etc have pretty substntial customer testimonial sections. Any double DIN headunit that protrudes less than .65 of an inch from the side plate will usually work with little to no modification to the radio door trim piece.

I usually install Subaru oem headunits from the newer cars and use standalone gps systems.

This would not fit. The obtuse manner with which it opens would contact not only the radio door but possibly also the shifter in park as well.
