Silly GPS Question

[bunnymom3]

I keep seeing GPS systems for laptops and PDAs but do they work with desktops too?

It depends on what the GPS is. For working with a desktop, you're much better off getting a handheld GPS and a USB or serial cable to interface with your PC.

Laptop and PDA GPS's offer far fewer features than what you'd get in a handheld.

I believe the laptop and PDA gps systems use the screen of the laptop/PDA for the display. I think you'll have a hard time carting your desktop around the Pines. LOL

I have the topo maps on my computer. I'm pretty sure you can use the gps with those. Unless I'm mistaken.
