Great thread guys. There's a ton of good information here. I'd actually use it in the car for every day navigation (with Centrafuse).
Would love to win this as a gift for a friend to introduce him to laptop gps!

This is the "killer" feature that I'd pay extra for

Garmin Mobile PC should work great on your HP laptop. It has all the features and a complete set of North America maps.

I don't know the product, but I still have the original GPS receiver for the first version of S&T that had it available, so a newer and better version would be nice to have and as a pensioner, I hate paying :-) so I hope I win

Hi IK what is centralfuse? Are there add ons that i mite like to add?
Mojowy, Centrafuse is a "front end" software used by some "CarPC" enthusiasts to control frequently used programs, such as navigation, music, etc. Have a look at this Centrafuse thread.
Thanks Marvin I took a fast look at it on the thread you sent. If i have a ? should i ask here or on the older thread? Like It cant turn my lap top Into a touch screen ? Sorry really like this stuff but new to the gps / Centraf se. Jerry

For the best response it's always best to use a thread with a subject that is very close or identical to what you want to know. Continue an existing one or start a new one. That way, people with knowledge can spot it easily and jump in to help. In a thread like this one, it will be buried and lost in no time, especially with the contest going on.

There is no software program, including Centrafuse, that can enable touch screen capabilities on a laptop that doesn't already have such a feature. Centrafuse is just an overlay to make it easy to see and select programs the laptop is running. One of these may be GPS navigation software. It is often used with small screen touch screen displays to make selecting programs with a finger easier than using the basic Windows layout. No magic at all and little advantage on a larger screen.
