dvd screen for gps

Thanks Peter I've just had a look at them what sort of set up have you for moving maps ect..?

HI ,I have the touch screen but find it hard to use as it is so small , so I have added a cordless mouse to the laptop and this works much better ,you can get these for around $50 and save the money on the screen not getting the touch option

Thanks Mike, how do you find them on their site are there Aust outlets?

Hi Utemad, I was going to buy a navman with bigger screen, but was told the Discover Aus had a better coverage of all Australia and Tas. city and country roads this disk came with the Magellan Gold Traveller Pack and it can be loaded with Great Desert Tracks the whole of both disks can be loaded on to 256 mb SD card which slips into the GPS.

Thanks Brian I'll check them out.

A little more complicated than that, You'll need a PC in the middle.
Be it of the Laptop or Desktop variety.
You'll also need some software to communicate to both devices.
Something like OziExplorer for talking to the GPS.
And the driver disks that come with the Lilliput screen to make the touch component work. The touch screen connects to your normal VGA port on a computer for the pictures and back through a USB port for the touch screen.

Hope this helps, Geoff.

mmm, thought as much. possibly be better with a small laptop.

You might be right, only advantage the Lilliput's have are there super small size.
No need to make a bracket big enough to support a whole laptop with keyboard etc. inside the car.
You can stow the laptop under a seat or somewhere just as convenient.
Best way to operate a small touch screen is to get hold of a stylus from a PDA, no dirty finger mark smudges on the screen. Also a nice fine point for accuracy.

Just had the pleasure (10 minutes ago) of looking at a new GPS that uniden are bringing out. Touch screen about the size of a CD case (5 inch?) and seems to have some pretty good features. Might have to sell the Magellan. The rep tells me they will sell for about $1500.
