Looking for a basic android tablet that can handle GPS mapping programs in the car? I like the size of my iPad Mini but it’s GPS enabled. Happy for 2nd hand suggestions as well.

Maybe consider something like this for your solution instead? Use your existing device and just have a Android Auto/Apple Carplay tablet connectivity.
How about an old 3G phone?
I agree, get a head unit with a screen or just an old cheap banger phone. Most tablets will suffer from constant charging and heat in a car.
Sorry but this seems like an odd solution.
Jog along
Are you following this user around?
Not odd. P-platers can't use a phone even just for maps. A dedicated GPS device can be used though not sure a generic tablet would count.
I bought a cheap 7” Android Auto / Apple CarPlay device on AliExpress, under US$30. Works okay.
Would you consider one of the cheaper Android phones with a big screen?
Something like a Motorola Moto G85 with 6.7" OLED
