Since we will be connecting a GPS Puck, a second monitor, speakers, and maybe more, we decided to use a powered USB hub to connect the items used for GPS Navigation.  That  made the cable connections to the PC just two, one USB cable and the power cable.
USB Hub We used using this HUB. 

Besides 7 USB ports, the Hub also has charge ports which the cell phone/ Kindles can use.
USB Hub We mounted the USB hub and an extension cord under the passenger dash.  There is an AC receptacle just under the dash near the floor.

Change to Android

By using an On-the-Go (OTG) cable.  The OTG cable plugs into the charging port of the Android device and allows regular USB devices to be attached.  All the devices we had on the USB worked with the Android device using the OTG cable.

We decided to not use the OTG cable and rely on the built-in GPS function of the Android tablets.
