Forget about hooking it up to the computer, just use it to get where you want to go and then sell it on eBay later. I have a few handhelds, like the Garmin 60cs, that interface to the Nikon and laptop software, but when you are in a car and you want to get somewhere, TomTom rules. You can buy a relatively cheap package to hook to a laptop or palm top, but until you have a young lady talking with an Aussie accent directing you to your destination, you really haven't lived the good life. It isn't small and it's not cheap, but I knew precisely where I was I was lost in the Utah desert. And the dirt road I was on was clearly marked, after I decided to plug it into the cigarette charger.... She did let me down a bit about the flash flood washout.... maybe I should have updated before I left... All kidding aside, after using my TomTom for a few weeks, I bought my girlfriend and son one. My oldest son recommended it to me....he hacked the UNIX kernel inside of it, or something along those lines... Now they don't let you do that anymore so, for him, it's not so much fun.
