Hello David,
> Will a double din radio fit in the dash of a GMC? I want to install a radio/GPS, and most good ones are double din and it looks like it could be problematic to install.

instead of going all-in on the radio, I opted for a Nokia Lumia 820 to
be my travel companion. Lifetime worldwide maps. ON the phone, i.e. no
need for data connection, not even for a phone contract, if you don't
like the phone. If you do select it as your daily phone, you won't be
disappointed either.
I have had multiple different onboard GPS units, from little TomToms,
over Becker in-dash 1-din units, to the current big double DIN unit from
Volkswagen. The mobile with a screen suction device is much,much better
than any of the others. Another thing to factor in, are updates. On the
Nokia units, you get updates every now and then automatically, for all
the onboard units that I looked at, you'd have to buy a new CD/DVD every
year or so, to get up-to-date maps.
What especially like is the ability to setup favourites outside the car,
and the visibility of the unit is great as well.
JWID :)
