Brad.

Check that it actually can display your Latitude and Longitude. Some of the voice navigators do not do this. Knowing your lat and long can be important in remote areas if an emergency eventuates.

Hey Brad

I use a HP6365 IPAQ with a HP bluetooth GPS Receiver. I use Destinator which is the voice prompt turn by turn software and I use Oziexplorer for bush maps.

Hi Brad,

Not that I know what is the perfect way do have any setup, as everyone has different requirements, but I decided to set mine up as follows:

- 2nd hand Laptop (approx $800)
- GPS mouse (approx $70 from ebay via hong kong)
- Oziexplorer software (approx $???)
- Natmap Raster Maps (approx $100)
- Other various maps (approx $500)
- Co-pilot Navigation software (approx $450)

I decidedon the above setup because I wanted the following requirments

- Big screen to view everything
- Track logs and moving map option when 4x4ing
- View current location using various maps as required
- Street navigation with Co-pilot
- Lets me watch dvd's
- Lets me download digital photo's and video during trips
- Negative comment is passenger has to hold laptop during trips

The only comment I can make is make sure you have all future needs thought of, as setup you go with will change depending on your requirements.

Other than that, go for it, it is great to have gps and what it offers

Thanks

TonyG
