If i get one of the previously mentioned GPS systems, would i be able to use it on my laptop instead of an PDA?

The hardware might work if you get an adapter but I doubt the software will unless your laptop understands PPC.

Doggiedog...you really don't know what you are talking about.

You shouldn't spread all this misinformation if you have no idea what you are talking about.


The Belkin GPS unit NFS4 is talking about is great. It will work with a PPC or Laptop.




counties...? WTF dude...?????

I live in the NYC tri-state area and cannot have too many maps loaded because of the large of amount of data. If I wanted to map out a trip to Boston, I would need to manually load the county maps into the PDA which is a real PITA. If you don't mind some preparation work, then the GPS will be ok but if you expect to turn it on and go, then you will probably not be happy.

<BR><BR>Uhh, don't make brash generalizations <BR><BR>I use an iPAQ 4150 and a Belkin Bluetooth GPS (Routis based). Maps are on a state by state basis. I have maps loaded of South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia, DC and Maryland loaded onto my 512MB Secure Digital card.<BR><BR>As long as I'm within those states, I'm fine with the GPS software. It will do point to point, turn by turn directions from South Carolina all the way to Maryland without so much as a hiccup along the way.

excellent.... i think i will follow your footsteps. hahahaha
