Has anyone used a GPS receiver linked into a laptop+Autoroute???

 

If so how successful/accurate was it???

My Gamin Vista will plug into a laptop serial port and give a full screen moving map display, it's really good.

Ask Hellraiser he uses his laptop I believe. I have a GPS receiver connected to the Carputer but I have MapMonkey.

Laptop & Autoroute 2006 worked fine with a bluetooth receiver.

 

It still wanted to send me the wrong way down a 1 was street. :headvswal

 

What do you need to know?

Cheers Gaz :) I have AutoRoute 2005 and a decent Pentuium 4 laptop.

 

I can get a GPS receiver for about £40 so I think I'll get one and give it a go.

Autoroute 2006 is good with GPS, has an american female voice for turn by turn directions and a very handy blue bar that tells you how close you are to the next turn.

 

General problem though with LCD displays in the summer is that u cant see a frickin thing in bright daylight on the monitor.

Hmmmm - I'd better download it then :rolleyes:
