Laptop plugin GPS cards

Are you asking if you can somehow plug the actual card into a laptop? The answer is no. What you can do is load the software(on CD) that is used on the card into your laptop and take it from there. That is how everyone runs moving map with Oziexplorer.

Dolfn,
the ones you are thinking of are Bluetooth GPS that communicate with a Bluetooth enabled laptop via radio signal & they aren't cheap or GPS cards that plug into a PDA. The cheapest way is buy a basic GPS with a remote antenna so you don't have to mount it & plug it into your laptop. Check the shop or try www.gpsoz.com.auRegards Bob
Where to next

Dolfin,
Absolutely. I have the very same one. No worries with it at all, very simple to run too. Straight from the box (new) load the software cd you receive with the gps then plug it in and fire up the oziexplorer.

A very cheap option to live gps mapping, I recommend it.

Happy trails,
Boxa

I brought the same on e-bay .. stuck it in the lap top .. loaded the oziexplorer and its great .... (17 inch monitor) The question really being -is somebody really going to drive 8 hrs with that on their lap navigating ? (na)

I like the idea of a moving map on the laptop too, but wouldn't it be a bit awkward carrying that laptop through the scrub whilst on a bush walk? Better to have a pocket GPS with a data cable connection, best of both worlds...
