what about the cf card gps units that slot into ya lappy????

PhilM

No idea mate!

Thing is, the reciever needa line of sight to the sky, which is why I have a magmount reciever, if its on a compact flash card in your laptop, your lucky you have a cabby bit of a pisser in the rain though!

I have a laptop and I have Autoroute 2004. Are you saying that if I buy a GPS receiver I can turn it into satnav?

How much does one of these cost and where from?

I use tomtom3 with an ipaq via bluetooth, very reliable and ace to use!!

Doh

what model ipaq's are you using with tomtom3?

i was given a 3630 the other week but when i looked into it seems this isn't he best model to use as its only 32mb (obviously i'd need a CF jacket)

apples24

yes doh get a flash jacket and atleast a 128mb card, that way all maps etc saved on the card not the machine

Tomtom itself doesn't run on PCs afaik. What you want is a proggy called Infomap Navigator from http://www.directions.ltd.uk/ it uses the same engine as Tomtom and is very very good. Runs on *nix too

I use it on my laptop with a Holux GM210 receiver.
