So my OEM stereo died a few months ago, and I'm planning to replace it with a double DIN Pioneer. Something with a nice 7" screen. I'm leaning toward getting nav while I'm at it, but...

I'm only 5'3 so I sit pretty close to the steering wheel, and when my hands are at 9 and 3 my right arm kind of blocks most of where the screen would be. I wonder how hard it would be to see the nav screen while driving, and whether I should go ahead with a nice head unit but keep using Google on my phone for nav. But then, I never had trouble seeing the (crappy) stereo display when I wanted to.

Any short drivers here with aftermarket nav? Anyone have trouble seeing the screen?
