I'm thinking about replacing the XOvision double-din head unit in my RV with an inexpensive Chinese Android head unit.

The XOvision is over 10 years old and has a 7" color touch screen with backup camera, basic audio functions (AM/FM/CD/MP3), and bluetooth phone link, but no internal GPS or NAV capability and no smartphone link or mirroring. It UI is also really clunky.

Most of the Android head units I've seen have a higher resolution screen, better user interface, and good smartphone integration, but seem to rely on Android smartphone mirroring instead of built-in GPS/NAV functionality.

Are there any inexpensive 2-din head units that have internal GPS/NAV apps, or should I simply plan on mirroring a smartphone-based GPS app? The primary NAV apps I've encountered are Google Maps and Waze, and I'm wondering if I should try to host on the head unit or the phone?

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
