Beginners help with GPS&laptop
Hi, I've never realy used the GPS before, but you can't stop the progress... I want to take my little laptop for the trip around Mediterian and Marocco and connect it to GPS mouse. But problem is I have no idea how the thing works. From reading some post in this forum I understand that if I don't want to connect the laptop to a classic GPS I have to buy a GPS mouse, software and maps which I can upload to laptop and calibrate it. I think of getting the CD maps from Quo VAdis in scale 1:250000 and use those.
So, my question is. Which software would you recomend for my purpose (4x4 piste driving in MOROCCO and South Europe) and which sort of GPS mouse should I buy and where. The only mouse I found so far is something called Haicom 203E GPS receiver for about £100 from GPS Warehouse. Anybody have any experience with this type?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you
