Been looking around for a way of keeping a laptop and a GPS receiver powered while in the car.
Laptop wise, it looks like I can go the inverter way, of which I am under belief that I will need a true sine inverter, or I can go for an in car charger, of which I have found a few on E-Bay. These range from $10 up.
I am also trying to supply power to a Leadtek 9537 Bluetooth GPS, I purchased this with my Destinator software from Johnny Appleseed. As it has a charger similar to mobile phones, it doesn't take a universal plug at all. I'm not sure what to do here.
I'm interested to hear what others are doing for power for similar products.
Cheers
