I don't think I'll grab it, because I can make do with my vent mount for 
my phone for the time being, but Android Auto recently enabled on-device 
(and generic external display) "auto" mode instead of requiring an 
Android Auto-ready head unit.

The takeaway is that any phone or hot spot that an Android 5.0 tablet 
can tether to will make a fine navigation system.  Getting Android 5.0 
on a Samsung Tab 2 is left as an exercise for the reader (but if anyone 
already has such a phone or tablet and a suitable mount, the Android 
Auto app may be useful).
