Can I mirror my gps to the car's screen

Hi, picking up my 2016 Fit later today

It's an EX but not with Navi. (I heard the Navi is terrible.. and not worth the $ for the upgrade. )
I plan on using Bluetooth for my phone/siri functions.

Personally I do love my Garmin GPS... Is there any way to have best of both worlds and mirror the Garmin to my screen? (so I don't have to have the mount on my dash) ... I'm figuring the answer is no but thought I'd ask anyway. Before you suggest using google maps or my iPhone, .. I really don't like the iPhone map apps, and also, more importantly, I don't want to waste my data usage and battery, as I like to see the GPS displayed all the time.
thx

I have an '09 that obviously doesn't have Navi. Just do like I did and mount your Garmin on the little window.

Not sure about the Garmin, but I used my phones' mini hdmi to the car's hdmi input to see it on the 7" screen. I still had to use the touchscreen on the phone to enter any commands. If you Bluetooth pair your phone, you will hear the voice prompts for upcoming turns, BUT, you will not be able to hear your audio system.

Hi I use Waze pretty much the entire time while driving and it didn't use much data. Less than 80mb for one month. As far as battery, charge your phone while driving..
