I rented a car this past week, a Fiat 600e, and it had both TomTom 
navigation and Android Auto included in the large secondary screen.

According to <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bTofng6Hjo> TomTom is 
dead. But I looked at their website and they are selling several 
hardware models, some of them for profesional drivers.

One new feature (for me) is entering in the config the size and weight 
of the vehicle.
