The Garmin style GPS will never be able to provide the live traffic info and POI data base available from an application like Google Maps or WAZE but neither will work on your Kindle. You will either need to hang in there with Garmin or buy a different small tablet. That's what I did. Best Buy had an 8" tablet for $89 with built in GPS and it has worked great as my primary GPS device in the RV.
I have both Google Maps and WAZE installed on the tablet. I prefer the way Google does routing but WAZE does a better job if you run into traffic issues. I also use Google to find POI's along the way as well as the campground at the end of the day. The directions are as good as, or better, than any Garmin I have ever owned (first one was 2002).
