    That's not a bad one, but if you are looking around, you might want to consider a model with blue tooth. It's a little more convenient to have the gps not attached to the laptop to get better reception. That is assuming that your laptop has blue tooth as well. If not, it's only about another 30 dollars for a decent adapter, but you might be looking for the cheapest solution.

    I doubt that my laptop has bluetooth, but the gps unit mounts on the dash with a USB cord going to computer. Sorry if you already knew that. Not trying to condescend you. Later, QD.

    No problem...I did know that...that is why I was suggesting the blue tooth model because it is not always convienient to have a usb cable dangling around from the seat or wherever you may have the laptop to the dash. Again...was just suggesting another alternative that you may have not considered.
