The GPS seems to do auto updates from the satellites as the streets in the San Diego area change now and then and the GPS reflects the changes!
There is great debate about the double DIN over on Miata.net, bottom line I'm 99% sure a double will not fit my 1996 Miata, 'the cubby' under the radio is more like a 3/4 DIN... but fear not Pioneer makes a pop out screen single DIN.

Uber cool but on my budget not going to happen.
The cheapa$$ in me is thinking this:
Amazon.com: JVC KD-R740BT Radio-USB-CD Bluetooth Receiver: Car Electronics
or
Amazon.com: PIONEER DEH-X6600BT CD RECEIVER WITH MIXTRAX(TM): Car Electronics
or
Amazon.com: Sony MEXBT4100P Car Receiver with Bluetooth Receiver, Remote Radio with Pandora: Car Electronics

But even those cheap choices may have to wait until next year
