Hello

I just started to use this and it's really good. Plotted a sensible route from England to the deepest, darkest depths of Poland.

Is this the Microsoft program ? If it is they are selling it in my local PC World for£49.99 with GPS receiver. Seems a good deal.

Wouldn't that mean you'd need to have a laptop sitting on the passenger seat to use it though?

Hello

Yes. That is why I was looking for an inverter (or something to power my laptop inthe car) the other day.

Although I didn't know about this deal at PC World, I was just planning to read the directions. GPS hook up sounds good to me.

I think it gives you voice directions now though.

Yes, it does. The thought has crossed my mind to make an in-car PC with a double DIN touch screen. Would make it a pretty impressive navigation system.
