Default Nav and more for a Burb

I have an 03 Burb that's exceptionally "automatically" endowed, save that it doesn't have a Navigation Screen like is available on the newer models.
I know that there are "turnkey" Nav units which can be installed, but, I"d like to have the ability to pull up to a WiFi location and tune in, to access the Internet, and load other programs as well.

Also, possibly also include some Cell Phone ability. Of course having the ability to download a City/State Map Program is the main point of the System. Then, is the addition of GPS would be nice also

I've seen the iPod type device, which I envisioned setting in a bracket right in front of the Speedometer Cluster, or center of the console up near the front shelve for the dash. I'd like something with a touch screen, I think that goes without saying, since a Mouse and Kbd would really be a hassle. So...

Is there an aftermarket "ready to go" Nav System, that has all that I want ?
Or, should I get something Like one of those IPods, and mount that ?

I was looking around tonight and found this forum area. You didn't get any response, so I thought I would provide some feedback.

You may want to take a look at the Kenwood Excelon products for 2013. There are some really neat things coming. The top of line DNN990HD has not been released yet, but you may want to look into it. Also, the DNX890HD has some nice features.

These are really advanced when you compare them to what ships in the 2013 Suburban.

Crutchfield.com has is listed for $1499.00. It is releasing this month. Right now, it is a pre-order.

It looks pretty nice. The DNX890HD is also a nice unit.

Good luck with your Nav update.
