GPS I can hook to my laptop?

[AgentZap]

When I did tech support people would always call and say they had hooked their GPS to their laptop. Anyone here done this? What sorts of GPS's can do this? I am picturing that basically the map and directions output on the laptop's screen so that even if you have a GPS with a crappy b&w display that it looks great on the laptop. Is that how it is in reality?

u hookup a usb antenna to ur laptop. shove the puck shaped thing under ur windshield. turn on lappy, install software and it finds sats and where u are. depending on quality of software, u may have 3d maps, routing, voice recognition, speed altitiude, places of interest, banks, postopffices, fast food, hotels etc etc etc etc etc.

It's extremely cool stuff and I hope to have a setup like that sometime! Don't really know much about it right now though.

I would like to get something like this myself. What I would like is one that is at least as good as the Hertz Neverlost one. Anybody know what software is the best to use?

software is as important as the reciever.
