I'll give you my perspective on the Kenwood units. They use an outboard solid-state nav made by Garmin. The user interface is like any other Garmin unit. Easy to use, excellent maps, good POI's. What I like best about the Kenwood system is that it's modular. No need to upgrade everything if all you need is one function. I'm sold on Kenwood and I'll be staying with them for a while.
