Who can recommend a mirroring app that will allow my phone running for example, Google Maps, to send the screen via Wifi Direct (or maybe hot-spotted) to my tablet, so as to use my tablet as a fully-featured Head Unit in my car?
My OPO already works great at providing navigation and music--what I need is for my much larger screened tablet to take over the screen features. Would prefer to not have to use data on the tablet as seems to be required by some of the mirroring apps.

I had a look and can't see one app that fits the bill.. A couple let you share files and cast certain things, but no full access.. Even these limited apps are poorly reviewed.. Sorry this isn't helpful, but I don't want you to have false hope..

Found an intriguing app that seems to mirror the phone to the tablet very well, over bluetooth, network, or hotspot--MirrorOp.
It is however, a $10 app. I'm reconsidering that kind of commitment.

Still really poor reviews. A lot of complaints of wanting a refund..
I tested the free version out and it worked properly. I had GMaps from phone (where I have sufficient data) mirrored to the Zenpad Z8 tablet (with insufficient data). Everything was windowed, but maybe I can hang with that.
Still though, that's $10 big bucks to get beyond the time-out. Ain't ready for the investment--will chew on it--and report back if I buy it.
