Ollie,
You could put all your maps on to the laptop to use for backup and route planning. (Get maps in various formats (CD/DVD/download(?) from Daerr, Woick, TTQV - do a google search or email me if you wish). Did I give you the Woick catalogue? They sell maps of absolutely everywhere.
Simple solution - use a handheld (small) or chartplotter (bigger) type gps (Garmin 152 for example) for day to day navigating or get a PDA if you prefer colour maps. I don't know what ozzieplorer is, only TTQV - see their website TTQV.com. Use the latest TTQV 4 standard version for the laptop or TTQV Pathaway for a PDA.
Depending on your prerefence I personally would take a book full of paper A4 maps printed off the screen too.
You could keep the laptop packed away until you had to change a route. A laptop of any size in the cab is going to get in the way in addition to security and unless you have a toughbook you'll have dust problems, especially in a LR.
That's my suggestions ...let me know if you want any help.
Andrew.
